Reviews: Ancient Trees of Vancouver Walking Tour
O***62024-09-18
My partner and I came upon the Ancient Trees of Vancouver Walking Tour quite by chance – on Instagram, of all places. Being lovers of the outdoors, and always open to enjoying some forest therapy, we decided to check this tour out. Like so many reviews before this one, we were not disappointed! Colin Spratt, the creator of the tour and our knowledgeable guide, masterfully combined history, ecology, botany, anthropology, environmentalism, and his own love of the forest to weave a fascinating tale that takes the avid listener from pre-colonial times to the present. In doing so, Colin helps you gain an even greater appreciation for the forest, its old growth giants, and why they remain so important for us and our own survival. The best part? All of this information is presented in a form that’s easily digestible – like having a casual conversation – as you stroll through Stanley Park looking at old maps, historic photos and, of course, the ancient trees you’ve come to see. It takes a special person to convey such information in a way that is appealing and understandable to all over the course of 3+ hours, and Colin does this with ease.
I don’t want to spoil too much of the tour; so, I’ll only mention a few highlights that really caught my attention: First, the meeting place near Third Beach. It’s a little out of the way, but the choice is deliberate. Yes, you can use the washroom and get some snacks, but there’s also a giant – right here – that often gets overlooked: The largest known alder tree in BC. While not as impressive as giant cedars or douglas firs, the alder is noteworthy for its species. Second, Stanley Park’s famed “Hollow Tree” (see my earlier review on this site). It is, as Colin says, the most “touristy” part of the experience, but people still love to see it. Third, Canada’s largest known Maple tree – such an impressive sight and really helps to put everything into perspective. To quote an earlier review, these trees are “awe-inspiring.”
In short, the tour is one that every visitor should add to their itinerary. You’ll learn a lot; you’ll get to walk amongst old growth giants; and, you can smile knowing you’re contributing to a worthwhile cause because a portion of ticket sales go towards tree conservation. Thank you!
