What to Expect
Stop at: Stanley Park
Experience the last remaining old growth in the city's historic Stanley Park. Follow our expert guide to these natural wonders, including 600 year old towering douglas firs, 1000 year old wide and wondrous cedars, and the largest known maple tree in all of Canada. As we marvel at these ancient trees, we'll also learn about the ecological importance of old-growth forests and the threats they face today. You'll be told about the park's history and the original Coast Salish inhabitants who called this area home for thousands of years before it was an urban park.
