Let’s take it back millions of years across time, learning about the ancestors of plants that are found right here in the place we know today as “Stanley Park”. Join us to discover what makes a plant a “living fossil” and get a glimpse into the ecosystems of Earth during the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods and beyond. We’ll even get to take a look at a real plant fossil to compare one prehistoric tree to their present-day descendent! Come along for a light-hearted journey across time and the evolutionary track of plants such as horsetails, the dawn redwood, and ginkgo trees.
