Nature House - Today's Events
Friday, July 17, 2026 at 8:31AM Here's what's on today!
10-12 Tides to Trails: Pollinator Bioblitz (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden (Lot 62) - please park on the shoulder of North Cove Road or at Forbes Hall
Did you know that some native BC bees grab onto a flower and vibrate their flight muscles at exactly the right frequency to shake the pollen loose? Honeybees can't do this, and it turns out the buzz you hear in the garden is doing a lot more work than you might think.
Join us at the PAG to learn about native pollinators and why they are so critical to ecological health. Then explore the garden in teams for a mini BioBlitz - spotting, identifying, and tallying as many pollinator species as you can find.
iNaturalist is a handy tool for identifying what you spot, but don't worry if you don't have it, we'll have identification resources on hand.
1-3 SLC Drop-in: From the Forest to the Sea (all ages)
Location: Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina
Ever wondered how the health of the forest and the health of the ocean are connected? This weekend at the SLC, we're exploring the remarkable journey of a salmon, from forest stream to open sea, and the intricate web of coastal ecosystems that depend on each other along the way. A perfect warm-up for the Nature of Forests Weekend!
The SLC is open Friday–Sunday whenever the seastar flag is flying!
