IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Can you feel the changes in the air? The squirrels and chickadees are hiding nuts for later, the beavers are fattening their tails for the cold months, and the frogs are getting ready to hibernate in the forests of Stanley Park. The abundance of the woods is waning as the leaves drift in the cool autumn breeze, waiting to be crunched underfoot and consumed by the mycelial networks below the soil surface. The season’s changes are all around us, if we point our senses in the right direction. Join us for a stroll through the trails of the Park to discover the preparations taking place for winter, from harvest to hibernation.

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”.
