IN-PERSON PROGRAM

We know that late summer brings the most abundance of delicious berries for humans and animals alike, but have you ever wondered about berries that grow in the colder months? Join SPES Educator Julia Taylor to learn how to identify colder season berries like snowberries, mountain ash, and holly. Find out how animals forage on these winter food sources and why “yew” should shy away from the colourful red “berries” of the western yew tree! There will be no harvesting permitted during this program, as it is prohibited across the Park. 

PROGRAM DETAILS

Accessibility notes: This program will move at a gentle pace with moderate inclines on some uneven surfaces, like packed gravel and cracked pavement. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca   

This program will meet at the Stanley Park #19 Bus Loop (located near the Stanley Park Pavilion, NOT the “Historic Bus Loop”).

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”.
