Our 1-day Summit on Connecting to Nature in an Urban World, April 19, features a morning plenary and roundtable sessions followed by interactive workshops and walkshops in the afternoon. Building on the Summit is our Conference, April 20-21, featuring keynotes speakers, hands-on workshops and networking opportunities.
Please note: Schedules are now locked from being changed. If you would like to make changes to your schedule, please come see us at the registration desk. See you in Vancouver!
"Walkshops" and workshops provide hands-on opportunities to learn strategies and techniques for connecting urban children to nature.
Take a tour of highlights of the restoration work taking place in Stanley Park including a mowed lawn-turned-wetland and a restored stand of native trees in the heart of the park. Your hosts, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, will take you on a five km (three miles) loop past iconic ocean vistas and ecologically significant features in Vancouver's most well-known park.
