This is your sign to befriend your local ferns! By getting to know native plants, you can open a new way of connecting to the world around you and enrich your day-to-day outings in nature. Join us for a beginner-friendly plant walk to learn some common ferns, trees, and other local plants on this late summer stroll in the forest! Dive into the world of spore-producing ferns, uncover why some plants are deemed “invasive”, and pick up some new fun facts along the way.

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”.
