IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Have you ever wondered what animals in Stanley Park do after hours? Join SPES Environmental Educator Anna Bondartchouk on a special night outing and learn about nocturnal animal nightlife! We’ll discuss how owls, bats, and flying squirrels (and more!) adapt to living in the cover of darkness… and if we look closely, we might just see a few ourselves. From hunting to hiding, nighttime is a busy time for wildlife of the Pacific Northwest! Our group will be creeping through Lost Lagoon, so bring a flashlight and a brave soul…
Looking for a family program? Check out “What Goes Bump in the Night” for nocturnal animal fun for parents with kids ages 4 to 8!

We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and help steward is the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
