Yew Lake Area Botany Walk
Yew Lake Botany Walk.
Join Eva Nagy and Katharine Steig for a botanical exploration of the Yew Lake area. This is not a hike but a leisurely walk with stops at interesting sights. – The 2.5 km mostly level Yew Lake Trail and Old-Growth Loop pass through meadows, wetlands and old-growth forest. – If there is time, we will also walk down the Pumphouse Road to check on butterworts. Focus will be on plant ID & recording what’s in bloom since the June 30 visit. Bring a lunch, water, and protective clothing for changing mountain weather.
Meet at 10:00 a.m. outside Black Mountain Lodge (not Cypress Creek Lodge) in the Cypress Bowl parking lot. PLEASE register with Eva at 604-929-4286 or evnagy@shaw.ca Let Eva know if you need a ride up the mountain. Contact Katharine at 604-922-7949 or katharine@steig.com if more information is needed. This is a joint trip with Nature Vancouver and Friends of Cypress Provincial Park.
