At last! Tree tours are re-starting, after almost two years! Join the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society for a guided walking tour of some of the magnificent trees on the Riverview Hospital lands. Riverview is now known as Səmiq̓wəʔelə — pronounced “Suh-MEE-kwuh-EL-uh”.
This walk will be led by a professional arborist and will last about two hours, depending on weather and walkers’ preference. Dress for the weather, and wear comfy shoes or boots as the grass can be lengthy in places. Walks go rain or shine. Children to adults welcome. Dogs on leash are also welcome.
