IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Do you see the beginnings of colourful leaves and smell the early autumn changes in the air? Many trees are starting to prepare themselves for the cold season ahead, whether they’re deciduous or evergreen. Join author and tree-enthusiast Nina Shoroplova for an early fall walk to learn about some of the native and ornamental trees around the east side of Stanley Park, including ginkgo, European beech, Douglas-fir, and more!

LEADER BIO

Nina Shoroplova is an author, photographer, researcher, and historian. In 2020, she published “Legacy of Trees: Purposeful Wandering in Vancouver’s Stanley Park,” an informative and beautiful book about the tree species, plantings, and histories in Stanley Park. As a graduate of the Master Gardeners Association of BC, Nina takes every opportunity to share what she has learned about her favourite plants: trees.

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”.
