Nature in Transit

Nature in Transit is a month-long installation that seeks to rebuild the connection between urban life and nature, and to give people insight into what is happening in nature and how natural processes sustain our lives on the coast.

Every day for the month of July, a different fact about what is currently happening in nature is featured.

This installation encourages viewers to connect with their natural surroundings and consider the seasonal patterns taking place all around them.

Experience Nature in Transit for yourself! Between June 30 – July 27 you can find a new daily feature at the Burrard Skytrain and Metrotown Skytrain stations.
