Creatures of the Night

Nature House 712 Lost Lagoon Path, Vancouver, BC, Canada

What happens in the Park after dark? Join us for a stroll to learn all about the nocturnal animals of the waters, skies, and forest and how they adapt to thrive after the sun has set. We'll try our luck and listen for the slap of beaver tails, the hoots of owls, and the yips of coyotes and other creatures who come out in the evening light on this nature outing. Bring a friend, a flashlight, and a curious mind as we explore the critters who reign during the night shift!

Making Friends with Fungi

Stanley Park #19 Bus Loop Stanley Park Loop, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Tracing mycelial webs through the forest, we will encounter and observe fungi with multiple senses to try to understand their worlds, lifeways, relationships and behaviour. The conversation will include basic principles of mushroom identification based on features visible with the naked eye, helping you be able to recognize mushroom form groups and work towards learning important genera and species.

Birds of a Feather: Autumn Flutters

Nature House 712 Lost Lagoon Path, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Do you feel the cool wind of autumn sweeping the shores, forests and wetlands of Stanley Park? Thousands of birds are migrating here from their summer breeding grounds to take advantage of relatively mild winter conditions and nutrient-rich shorelines. Discover the incredible variety and lives of local birds in our monthly birding program, Birds of a Feather!

Fungi, Death, and Decay

Stanley Park #19 Bus Loop Stanley Park Loop, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Fungi are the keepers of the veil between the realms of the living and the dead. Learn from mycologist Willoughby Arévalo how all life depends on the death and decay brought about by these dwellers of the underworld. Join us for this special walk at the time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest and most permeable, when souls and spores alike may drift across.
