Nature Quest
Downtown Van is thrilled to showcase Macia Estudios’ project, funded by our Public Vibrancy Grant and created with Vancouver City and Park Board Vancouver, consisting of a series of whimsical artifacts on-site at Emery Barnes Park, during the fall of 2024. The three artifacts aim to inspire children to engage with the natural surroundings through playful experiences by helping them identify the native fauna of Vancouver, specifically the species that can be encountered in downtown Vancouver. The artifacts are accompanied by a map to engage families in a scavenger hunt activity to explore nature, with the main objective being to create core memories within downtown and transform the way people perceive the area.
