Botany at the Airpark, May 2025

Botany Group members enjoyed a field trip to the Courtenay Airpark on May 6 (repeated with public participation on May 10). With the (perhaps surprising) diversity of plants at this urban location, there was much to see, ranging from algae to oaks.

Be sure to check out co-leader Véronique’s photographic guide to many of the species observed in the varying habitats at the Airpark on these outings. The guide is based on her own photographs and research. You can download the guide here (PDF, 4.8 MB).

Here’s a selection of photos from the guide [click a photo to see the whole image]:
