VANIER NATURE PARK WALK (led by Nick Page, at 10 am) – 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 10:00 am walk will be lead by Nick Page.  Nick is a professional biologist who works on the assessment, restoration and management of species and ecosystems in coastal BC.  He has a M.Sc. in plant ecology from UBC and works with Current Environmental in the Comox Valley.  Nick grew up on Headquarters Road not far from the most northern Garry oak trees in Canada.

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.
