Hi everyone, I would like to learn about BC's native plants and am wondering if there are any clubs, courses, or short walking tours that I could participate to gain more knowledge of local plants. I started working as a kayak guide this summer and found sharing the little knowledge I do have made my trips much more interactive, so I would love to learn more for next season. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks
As well, the Vancouver Natural History Society Field trip schedule is here: http://www.naturevancouver.ca/events/field_trips
A popular reference book is Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast by Pojar & MacKinnon. It's got great photos, descriptions and talks about how the plants were used by First Nations.
