Join us to explore and expand your understanding of the forests, wetlands and seashores of Stanley Park.
A guided Nature Tour can introduce you to wildlife, bird calls, native forests, or mushrooms. Our Workshops make it easy to try a new skill, such as nature-inspired watercolour painting, plant weaving, or ecology art. New tours and workshops are added each month!
"As a newcomer to Vancouver, attending SPE's programs has given me what I needed to make this city feel like home: a strong sense of community, a deeper understanding of its history, and an intimate connection to its local nature."
