SUMMARY:Plants in Our Urban Places: A Tour of Trees and Shrubs of Deer Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join Julia for a tour of the native and ornamental trees and 
 shrubs that make up the story of our urban landscape at Deer Lake Park. We 
 will look at common plants that live in our urban parks\, observe their 
 unique features and discuss how to identify them. Meet at the Royal Oak 
 trailhead for the Deer Lake Park Trails. Please dress for the 
 weather.\n\nJulia Alards-Tomalin is an instructor at the British Columbia

 and Ecological Restoration at BCIT and recently completed a Master of 
 Education at Simon Fraser University. Her background is diverse\, including 
 horticulture\, arboriculture\, invasive species management and ecological
