Stanley Park's Legacy of Trees (IN PERSON)

Responsable : learn@vandusen.org

Lieu : VanDusen Guides Classroom | 5151 Oak St, Vancouver, BC, V6M 4H1

Description :

Join us on March 29, 2023 for an in-person Rae Warner Speaker Series event! We're excited to welcome you back to the Garden for an evening with Nina Shoroplova. The talk will be based on her 2020 book, Legacy of Trees: Purposeful Wandering in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Legacy of Trees will be available for sale at a discounted price at the presentation. 

Nina's talk will reflect the sequence of ideas found in her book, starting by looking at the native and special trees that have always been in the area we call Stanley Park, followed by an exploration of the first trees that were planted in the park and why, with a final look at new spaces and uses for the park as it matures. In each of these three sections, Nina will focus on three or more tree species.
