IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Let’s take it back millions of years before dinosaurs, while exploring right here in Stanley Park. As we traverse the trails and take in the beauty our natural neighbours, we will discover that we walk among plants that evolved 200-400+ million years ago and yet remain growing around us almost unchanged! Join SPES Educator Julia Taylor on a light-hearted travel through time along the evolutionary track of plants and “living fossils” such as the dawn redwood, horsetails, and gingko trees.
