Canopy Fest Walk and Talk – It’s not just a walk in the park!

Opening and walk

Join us for the opening session of Canopy Fest, an immersive all-ages journey through Biddy Giles Park that promises to inform and inspire! This engaging walk will unveil local species, illustrate the vital ways urban trees enrich our lives, support biodiversity, and highlight the importance of urban resilience and green corridors.

Children are welcome to participate, as our route offers access to the playground, ensuring fun for the whole family. By the end of this enlightening session, you will not only see the park in a new light but also understand that life flourishes in the trees.

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your connection to nature and the places around you!
