Description Of This Tour

Join Stephanie Aitken and Christopher Szymberski, landscape designers from Seed and Sparrow, and ecologist and BC Parks Senior Ranger, Tanis Gieselman, to take an engaging walk around the botanically rich White Lake Area. You will go around the east part of the property through open forest and by massive rock outcrops up to a series of flats and alkaline lakes. Then take a short steep hike up to a cool rich plateau and back down the other side to White Lake itself, stopping to discuss and identify many of the diverse and rare plants that highlight the area. While enjoying the flora of the grasslands, you will learn about the ecology of this unique habitat and challenges it faces on the edge of human development.
