Do you find yourself wandering through the Park and wondering about the tall trees that greet you? If you’re curious about learning some beginner tree identification, join SPE Educator Julia for a relaxed outing in Stanley Park! We’ll meet some common forest and urban trees and take a closer look at their bark, cones, leaves, and needles, all while enjoying the summer air in nature. Returning participants will learn some new trees on this walk.

Join SPE Educator Julia for a special site visit to the heron rookery and learn all about how these beautiful and large birds navigate the canopy, build their nests, and raise their fledglings. You’ll also discover how Stanley Park Ecology supports the heron colony by monitoring their success during regular surveys and installing anti-predation tools. This is part of our annual series of heron programming! This time of year, more and more hatchlings can be heard making their chorus of ‘tik-tik-tik’ sounds in the nests above, and some older chicks are getting ready to learn how to fly and fledge the nest!
