IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Every second of every day and night, countless cycles are churning around us, carried on by millions of organisms big and small. Join Stanley Park Ecology Educator Julia Taylor to discover the intricate relationships that bind the forest ecosystem together — from the textured lichens clinging to tree bark, to the mysterious mycelial network under the soil, to the flying squirrels who spread the spores of mushrooms as they collect and dry them in the forest!
PROGRAM DETAILS
Accessibility notes: This program requires moving at a slow-moderate pace with a few minor inclines along Lost Lagoon Path and forest trails like Tatlow Walk and/or Lees Trail. We may venture just off trail on uneven terrain such as tree roots, and will travel along gravel paths for up to 2 hours. If you have any questions about accessibility, please email Julia at publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca
This program will meet at the Nature House on Lost Lagoon (located near the intersection of Alberni and Chilco Street, underneath the viewing platform). See on map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pubBr5KrxsppF3F88
Please arrive 10 minutes early to locate the meeting location and check in. There is construction in the area so please allow extra time to arrive.

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”.
