Bumblebees and Bee-yond: Native Bee Walk

Ever wondered about the fuzzy, chunky bees flying around in the summer? Or maybe you’ve spotted a big bumblebee and thought, “that’s the largest bee I’ve ever seen!” Join us to celebrate Pollinator Month and learn all about the fascinating and diverse world of bumblebees and bee-yond! With over 150 species of native bee in our region, and in diverse colours from orange to blue to green, there’s a lot to appreciate. We’ll even get up-close with a few bee specimens (and possibly some live bees temporarily caught and viewed safely!) to really see what the native pollinators are all about.

Birding with Me: Welcoming the LGBTQ2S+ Community

Join our Birding with Me program! Get to know our local feathered friends while in community outdoors. Led by biologist Rémi Torrenta, this program will guide participants through encounters with the local birds found in Stanley Park. Explore the waters of Lost Lagoon and the trees and plants that line the trail, and keep your eyes and ears out for the many summer residents that could be found, such as warblers, swallows, hummingbirds, flycatchers, and more. No experience necessary, and participants will be able to borrow binoculars from Rémi!

This event is reserved specifically for LGBTQ2S+ individuals, in order to provide a safe and inclusive space to explore birding and nature.
