IN-PERSON PROGRAM

As sunset falls over the waters and trees of Beaver Lake, the beavers emerge from their lodge and begin their nightly duties, and bats take to the sky to hunt insects nearby as they prepare for hibernation or migration. Come along on this walk at dusk to learn about the animals that may emerge in the evening around the wetland habitat — and see the beaver lodge! We’ll discover the routines of busy beavers, the habits of bats and frogs, and keep our eyes and ears open for what we might encounter around the Beaver Lake ecosystem! 

We will end the program at Beaver Lake at 7:30 pm, and those heading back to the bus loop can join the guide to walk back after the program ends.

PROGRAM DETAILS 

Accessibility notes: This program will move at a gentle/moderate pace with minimal inclines on some uneven surfaces, on sidewalks and gravel paths. The route is downhill to the entrance of Beaver Lake. At Beaver Lake, it is a mostly flat path, though there is a ~5cm ridge at the culvert on the north side of the lake, which may not be navigable in a mobility device. The program will end at Beaver Lake. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca          

This program will meet next to the Railway Parking Lot and the #19 bus loop (see exact location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wk3QnAkxjU1JT12C9). Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to check in.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
