The following are some suggested parks to experience forest therapy in the Saanich area. However, I am able to create a unique anywhere in nature, so please contact me if you are interested in a private group walk.
Coles Bay Regional park, is a quiet, small park located just outside of Victoria, between Brentwood Bay and Deep Cove in North Saanich. Walk a short distance through a canopy of native Douglas Fir, Cedar, Black Hawthorn, and Arbutus trees to Coles Bay, and enjoy beautiful views of the Saanich Inlet!
John Dean Provincial Park, is situated on top of Mount Newton on southern Vancouver Island, and overlooks the pastoral Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands and the Cascade Mountains. This beautiful park protects one of the last remining of old-growth Douglas fir and Garry oak on the Saanich Peninsula.
Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, encompasses nearly the entire east side of Saanich Inlet, stretching from Goldstream to Brentwood Bay and the world-famous Butchart Gardens. The Gowlland Range is a particularly rich area of biodiversity, with more than 150 individual animal and plant species identified and the protected area preserves a rare, dry coastal Douglas fir habitat that features grassy meadows, rocky knolls and old-growth forest.
Please contact me if you are interested in a private group walk, or with any other questions that you may have about forest therapy or our offerings. Perhaps subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on our guided walks and interesting information about the practice of forest therapy!
