Explore Your Trail
  • Join us for an outdoor adventure as we travel local trails, exploring the plants and animals in our community with a high-tech twist. For all ages. Register on Eventbrite.

    We will learn about one of the world’s most popular citizen science nature app, iNaturalist. Following a brief tutorial, we will travel along the trail and share our observations with other enthusiasts while also recording them for scientists!

    Participants are encouraged to download and install iNaturalist on their smartphone or tablet.

    A limited number of Tablets and Nature Backpacks will be available on-site for customers to checkout with their Vaughan Public Libraries card.

    All ages are welcome! There will also be nature-themed activities available for younger children. Children are required to have adult supervision. To ensure the comfort and enjoyment of the program for all participants we kindly ask that pets stay at home or explore the park independently.

    This program will take place outdoors (weather permitting), so wear comfortable shoes and appropriate outerwear. Don't forget to bring water!

    Special note for the July 5 program:

    As part of your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the Marita Payne Food Forest – a community-driven initiative created in partnership with the City of Vaughan to promote sustainable urban agriculture and environmental education.

    To ensure everyone’s safety, we kindly remind all visitors to not pick, handle, or consume any plants, fruits, or herbs. While the food forest includes a variety of edible plants, many are still in early stages of growth or are being monitored for educational and conservation purposes. Additionally, some plants may resemble edible varieties but are not safe for consumption.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain this valuable shared space.
