Hummingbird and Pollinator Walk

Have you walked through the trails of Stanley Park and hear the squeaky, scratchy calls of the Anna’s hummingbird above? Or perhaps looked to admire native flowers and noticed the busy buzzing of pollinating bees? Between the activity in the summer air and the scent of sweet flowers wafting in the breeze, the world of pollination is vibrant and full of energy! Join SPE Educator Julia Taylor on a colourful nature outing to learn about the fascinating world of hummingbirds, bumblebees, and some of the the flowers they rely on. Participants can borrow binoculars as we keep our eyes and ears tuned to nearby pollinators nearby.
