This walking tour lasts about three hours and takes place in Stanley Park, Vancouver’s last remaining ancient forest. The tour is led by Colin Spratt, a known big tree expert and member of the BC Big Tree Committee. Participants walk through the park to see ancient Douglas firs that are around 800 years old and giant western red cedar trees. The guide uses old maps, postcards over 120 years old, and archival photographs to explain the history of the park and its natural environment. The tour covers the ecological role of old-growth forests and the history of the Coast Salish people who lived in the area before it became a city park. The route focuses on the last old-growth section of Stanley Park, where visitors see trees up to 1000 years old, including the largest maple tree known in Canada. The guide shares details on the park’s development and environmental challenges facing these ancient trees today. No transportation is included to or from the meeting point.
