VANIER NATURE PARK WALK- (led by Verna Mumby, at 1 pm) GARRY OAK RESTORATION PROJECT

Choose between 3 walk times that each have a different walk leader, each very knowledgeable about both oak trees, nature and this restoration project.

This 1:00 pm walk will be lead by Verna Mumby who has 30 years of work in arboriculture as a ISA Certified Arborist and Consulting Arborist.  She says she is still learning every day from the trees.  When not hugging trees she is knee deep in microscopy looking into microbes in the soil – or walking her dog in the nature of the wonderful Comox Valley.

The Vanier Nature Park project is being co-managed by Comox Valley Nature and the City of Courtenay with funding from both the City of Courtenay and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.  Each walk leader will share their unique perspective on this forest and this very positive project.

Please be at the meeting spot at least 10 minutes before the walk starts to sign in.    We will have a table with further information on this exciting project.

The walk is partially on level ground with some gentle to moderate uphill walking on a forest trail that has some uneven footing.   No dogs please.
