Our Trips

Once Upon a Tree - Virtual

What is a tree, and how does it work? Your students will learn how trees make their own food and how they are part of the soil, air, and water cycles of the temperate rainforest. They will also discover how a diversity of trees and other plants creates habitat for local wildlife.

Eco Quest - Self-Guided In Person Program

Go on a quest for nature knowledge! The Eco Quest takes your students through the Ecology Centre’s displays. Get interactive with our displays as you find the answers to the scavenger hunt questions and decode the secret message. Receive a small prize when you complete the Eco Quest booklet and then enjoy a nature video in our theatre.

Eye Spy - Self-Guided In Person Program

Go on a scavenger hunt to discover nature pictures hidden in the Ecology Centre displays. Receive a small prize when you complete the Eye Spy booklet and then enjoy a nature video in our theatre.

Building a Rainforest - In Person

What makes the temperate rainforest unique? Discover how our forest is different from other ecosystems around the world. Through field studies, we will learn about the building blocks of ecosystems and discover how light levels, water, and nutrient cycles help build a temperate rainforest in Lynn Canyon Park. Head outside to explore the connections between the plants and animals of the temperate rainforest, and peer into the miniature worlds of the rainforest with our magnifying projector.

Stream Ecology - In Person

A wondrous world exists below the chilly waters of Lynn Creek. What’s living there? Most of the creatures in the creek are much smaller than salmon and trout. Invertebrates form the basis of the aquatic food chain. During this program, you’ll discover how aquatic invertebrates have adapted to, depend on, and survive in their environment. Students will identify aquatic invertebrates and use simple chemical tests to measure water quality in Lynn Creek.
