2:30pm: Native Plant Garden Guided Walk

Our Guided Walks series is a way for visitors to gain an understanding of the ecological, cultural, and historical context of this place. During these programs, you will join an educator on a gentle walk and talk on site to learn more about the Nature Sanctuary. Our Guided Walks are between 30-45 minutes, including time for questions. Learn more about each walk topic below:

Cultural History Guided Walk – On this walk you will learn about the rich cultural history of the site including Indigenous history of the area, post-colonial activities that occurred at and near Swan Lake, and how the Nature Sanctuary became what it is today.

Native Plant Garden Guided Walk  – During this walk, we will spend our time in the Native Plant Garden near the Nature House. We will discuss the importance of native plants and what you can do to protect them. You will learn about some of the plants growing in the garden and discover what is in bloom seasonally.
