VANCOUVER – Yew Lake Trail Explorations
- 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for a hike of the Yew Lake Trail in West Vancouver. The approximately 2 km, predominantly level, trail passes through meadows, wetlands and old-growth forests. We’ll stop to identify some of the main trees and plants along the path, and search for some very unusual plants! Fortunately we have Nature Mentors Gail Ross and Lyn Grants to help us discover the many unique features of this beautiful area.
Register here.
