Free Guided Tour of the Trees on the səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview Lands in Coquitlam

Sunday October 19, 1pm – 3pm

Join the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society (RHCS) for the final tree tour of səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview of 2025. RHCS is celebrating 30 years working to protect səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview. This Sunday you can learn about the world-class collection of trees located on the Lands from a very knowledgeable arborist, Egan Davis. Egan has taught Horticulture at UBC Botanical Gardens, and VanDusen Botanical Garden and is currently the Parks Operations Manager for the City of Richmond.
Tree tours are leisurely guided walks allowing viewing of some of the more than 1600 catalogued trees on the site. A certified arborist will lead the tour and provide information on the trees and their significance. This is a free, 2-hour, family-friendly event and all are welcome. Dogs must be on-leash. No advance registration is required.

Please join the tour to show your support for preserving the priceless natural heritage of the səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview Lands.

Meet in the Serenity Garden down the slope from the Henry Esson Young (HEY) Building on the səmiq̓ʷəʔelə/Riverview Lands in Coquitlam. Watch for Tree Tour direction signs when you enter the site.
