1.    How have people used this place in the past.  For example Central park, the trees were felled by the British Navy for masts.   And many of the stumps were hand logged..
2.    This place WAS an old growth forest but now it is second growth.  Besides, logging, climate change can alter this forest.   Climate change transformed the weather of the lower mainland so we get drought during the summer and fall.  What is the effect of drought on our urban forests?   Read this resource and make note of the effect of drought:
