Greenheart TreeWalk — Attraction in Electoral Area A

I LOVED my day at the UBC gardens. I also went on the tree walk. The people at the info tent and doing the check ins were very kind and gave me a map. I went straight to the tree walk and that was very beautiful and very fun! I would do that every day and never get sick of it. The staff at the tree walk, Ian, was AMAZING!

We were encouraged to stay up in the canopy to experience the growth and to consider the growth's potential. It was the best advice, and should be passed on. The brief exchange was insightful and educational.

The swaying on the platforms can feel like being at sea. 2 hands are needed for steadying oneself and to facilitate moving around. Take your time and enjoy the surrounding canopy, light and views. Being up off of the ground really affords a different...
