Meeting time and location: 10:00 am, At entrance to Parkgate Library 3675 Banff Court, North Vancouver. The Parkgate library is opposite the Parkgate Community Centre at Banff Court, North Vancouver and adjacent to the Parkgate Village Shopping Centre at the corner of the Mt Seymour Parkway and Seymour Road which is also the access road to Mount Seymour Provincial Park.

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.
