Join SPES Educator Julia Taylor in this month’s installment of “Get to Know a Trail”\, where we explore the joys of trails across Stanley Park. This month\, we’ll explore Lost Lagoon and find out about its construction\, its role as a habitat for animals\, and more!  \n\n\n\nPROGRAM DETAILS​ \n\n\n\nAccessibility notes: This program requires moving at a moderate pace with moderate inclines on some uneven surfaces around Lost Lagoon (such as gravel and pavement) for up to 1.5 hours. If you have any questions about accessibility\, please email Julia at publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca         \n\n\n\nThis program will meet at the Nature House on Lost Lagoon (located near the intersection of Alberni and Chilco Street\, underneath the viewing platform).
