IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Come along and get acquainted with the trees of Stanley Park as the forest undergoes its colourful seasonal transition! From the towering giants above us to the sweet-smelling branches we walk underneath, we’ll immerse ourselves in the world of Stanley Park’s trees. Join Elliot Bellis to learn about some of the most common trees in our city, how to identify them, and how to support our forests in a changing climate.

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”.
