Stanley Park Ecology Society

Well, this was a real find yesterday!   The Nature House is just across the street housed in the old boathouse on Lost Lagoon.  They have a lot of very cool events.  I just got tickets for the History,  Tea, and Tour.  And we found out why the lovely fountain at Lost Lagoon isn't working.  We were surprised not to see it working because we knew there was a bit refit lately.  Seems there was a flood in the mechanism and it needs major repairs which they are going to do but it will be a while before it is functioning again.

Now,  we had heard that the beavers in Lost Lagoon had been relocated because their dams were causing problems but it seems that two beavers are back and there are also some turtles.  They had a telescope focused on the turtles but they didn't appear when we were there.

As kids,  we used to ride our bikes all over Stanley Park but haven't really explored it since other than driving through.  One of the first things we'll do is walk to Beaver Lake.  And I have my Vancouver Tree Book to help identify trees.  Its a fabulous pocket guide!

Gather at the Nature House for refreshments to recall the British High Tea society of old Vancouver during pre-WWI era. We’ll trace their route to the Park’s former “Entertainment Hub” to visit monuments, memorials, plaques, historic gardens and have an inside tour of the historic Stanley Park Pavilion, once the site of dancing and opulent dining.
