A free public nature walk for Nature Vancouver.

 

Presenter: David Cook, Biologist.

Registration is required in order to limit the number to a manageable level: Register with David at cookeco2@yahoo.com.

Meeting time and location: 11:00 am at the cul de sac of Roche Point Drive North (south of Mt Seymour Parkway & Parkgate Shopping Centre). A location map will be supplied to those who register.

Approximate duration of event & walking distance: Approximately 3 hours & 3 km there & back.

Description of the event: David will walk you to the nearby Roche Point Forest following a green strip which is a wildlife corridor, paralleling Mt. Seymour Rd. & Roche Point Drive connecting Seymour Provincial Park with Roche Point Forest, an area of old-growth forest which is partly forested parkland & partly forest, zoned for residential development. He will point out the old-growth Douglas-firs one of which held a Bald Eagles nest, the characteristics of an old-growth forest & describe the plant species we will see.

Trail conditions: The trail conditions will be a mix of easy and rough trails. To access the old-growth trees the trails are rough, so the tour is not recommended for people with any type of mobility issue.

Be prepared: Bring a snack and water.
