Grasslands walk
Part of the Wild Discoveries 2026 collection
Overview
Despite that we are in the boreal forest, there are remnant grassland ecosystems still found in the north. We will explore one on this walk!
Thursday, June 11, 7 to 8:30 pm
Though the Yukon is dominated by boreal forest, there are mini-grasslands all around, remnants of the last ice age. These ancient ecosystems have unique plants, some of which are found nowhere else. Join habitat biologist Caitlin Willier on a visit to a grassland in Whitehorse and learn about what lives in these mini-ecosystems.
Location: Meet at the pullout at the top of the hill on the Chadburn Lake Rd.
