Public Programs

We provide public programs and interpretive resources in many parks.

• Join a park interpreter on a guided nature walk.
• Come to a hilarious high-energy amphitheatre show. 
• Enjoy a fun, hands-on learning experience for the whole family.
• Chat with a park interpreter one-on-one at select trailheads and day use areas, as well as visitor centres.
• Pick up informative brochures and explore interactive exhibits at our visitor centres.
• Self-guided interpretive trails are available in some locations - enjoy these trails of discovery with fascinating stories about plants, animals and local history. Search for "Interpretive" in the Trails listing. You can also check in the "trails" section for a specific park (located under the Information & Facilities tab.)

Our public programs are informal and fun. Interpretation:

• is an innovative teaching technique that combines facts with stimulating explanatory information;
• reveals the meanings of and relationships between natural, cultural, historical and recreational resources; and
• is a profession with highly trained staff dedicated to environmental education.
