Dead Trees and New Evergreen Leaves: Damaged Forests in Transition

Guided walk in the area of Pacific Spirit Regional Park located between University and Chancellor Boulevards. We’ll look at the relatively recent origins of the forest in the area, current activities (areas where PSPS is carrying out ecological restoration), and future outlooks for this area. The walk will be generally on graveled forest trails, with little elevation change. The difficulty rating for this walk is A/B-2. This walk is a follow-up to the Special Topics Thursday presentation from Jan.26, Three Restoration Projects by Nature Vancouver Members, as walk includes a look at a PSPS’s restoration project. 

This walk is part of a series of EcoWalks titled First Sunday EcoWALKs by Pacific Spirit Park Society (PSPS) and Friends; it is offered jointly by PSPS and Nature Vancouver. The guides for the walk are Ryan Regier and Sam Bundenthal, volunteers with PSPS. Participants are encouraged to register for the walk using the PSPS’s registration form found here.

The meeting location is behind (North side of) University Chapel (5375 University Boulevard) at the picnic table area beside the playground.
