The Botany/Mycology Group’s May field trip took place on May 14 at Little River Nature Park and was well-attended.

This CVRD nature park has three special ecosystems which the group explored:

  • the rare and sensitive beach plain
  • the sensitive salt marsh estuarine plain
  • the wetland and pond area.

Many of the spring flowers on the beach plain were showing up on this trip.

The group’s co-leader VĂ©ronique has created another very useful photographic identification guide to most of the species observed on this walk using her own photos and additional research. Below is a small selection of images from the guide. Download the guide here (PDF, 10.3 MB).
