IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Join us for this wintery forest walk, where participants will learn about various species of ferns, evergreen trees, and other resilient plants that thrive in winter conditions, and how to identify them. Led by Stanley Park Ecology Educator Julia Taylor, we will delve into the fascinating adaptations these species have developed to survive snow, frost, and relatively limited sunlight. Discover the hidden ecosystems that flourish beneath a blanket of snow, and gain insight into the crucial roles these plants play in forest ecology!

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