The past couple of weeks here at SPES have been wet for sure but also very exciting. A big thank-you goes out to everyone that came out to support us during our “Playing For The Park” event - we had a lot of feedback from families and fans that would like to see it happen again next year, and so would we! In addition, some of the various research initiatives that were identified in the Stanley Park Restoration Plan have already begun and should soon start producing results.
We have UBC researchers in the park that are trapping beetles to see what species are living here and what species may be arriving as our fallen trees begin to decay and send off appetizing odors. There are consultants exploring the park to locate our previously known archaeological sites and to confirm their status after the storm. They are also looking for new archaeological sites that may have been exposed by falling trees and their upturned rootwads.
There is so much happening here and we can’t wait to share it with you but we have to wait until some of the initial findings are completed and sent to us! In the meantime we have another picture of the Yellow-Bellied Marmot in the park as taken by a marmot fan, Mark White, who agreed to let us post this photo he sent in. If anyone else has fantastic photos of cool recent or past events then please send them into us and maybe we can put them up here. Enjoy the sunshine!
