Stanley Park Ecology Society: Fall 2012 Events

We love going for trail walks through Stanley Park at any time of year but there’s just something extra special about autumn. It’s not here just yet, but there’s much to look forward to. Bright greens turn to fiery reds and oranges, leaves crunch underfoot and the crisp air tickles your nose while squirrels scurry to stock pile for the season.

The Stanley Park Ecology Society works year-round with the public thanks to a network of members and volunteers. Here are just a few of their upcoming events and workshops for fall 2012.
