Raise money for Stanley Park Ecology

Stanley Park Ecology has been a registered charity since 1988, dedicated to education, conservation, and research rooted in Stanley Park. We work to protect one of Canada's most visited urban parks, connecting people with nature through hands-on stewardship, ecological research, and community education.

Our stewardship teams work year-round removing invasive species, restoring native understory, and helping the forest stay healthy and resilient, work made possible by volunteers who contribute thousands of hours each year through programs like our Dedicated Invasive Removal Team and EcoStewards. Alongside this restoration work, we deliver curriculum-linked field trips and public programs that build ecological literacy and inspire lifelong stewardship, from children to seniors to visitors exploring the Park for the first time.

Every dollar raised through this race directly supports this work: healthier forests, greater biodiversity, and a stronger connection between people and the natural world, within Stanley Park and beyond.

Mission: Education, conservation, and research rooted in Stanley Park.

Vision: Generations inspired by nature within and beyond Stanley Park.


Stanley Park Ecology (SPE) is rooted in the community. For over three decades, SPE has used interpretive programming and community initiatives to bring about positive change and awareness of Stanley Park as a precious urban oasis, and to promote its ecological well-being.

School, Public and Conservation Programs engage participants with hands-on science and interpretive activities empowering stewardship in the fragile balance of the Stanley Park urban ecosystem. By becoming a donor you become a partner in this important work.

Every year, SPE:

  • Offers free or low-cost interactive public programs that give thousands of children and adults an opportunity to discover more about the natural wonders of an urban wildlife oasis
  • Connects over 12,000 school students with nature through our dynamic school programs
  • Engages community volunteers and citizen scientists in the stewardship of Stanley Park through activities including monitoring species and ecosystems at risk and restoring habitat

We appreciate the support of our runners and donors which helps make our work for ecosystems within and beyond Stanley Park possible.
