IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Twilight in Stanley Park brings the slap of beaver tails and the graceful dive of river otters. Join us on a Lost Lagoon habitat walk where we’ll learn about the homes and lives of these furry aquatic creatures, and maybe even catch a glimpse of one! Find out answers to questions like “Why do beavers have yellow teeth?” and “Why do otters share a latrine site?” Bring a flashlight, as we’ll be ending our walk in the dark.
Can't make it to this session? Check out our session on March 15th!

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.
