Greenheart TreeWalk is a suspended walkway through the forest at UBC Botanical Garden in Vancouver. Bridges and platforms carry you among the treetops, where the walkways sway gently as you move and offer a different view of the surrounding nature. The structure has netting along both sides, though the height can feel daunting if you are uneasy with heights. Plan a weekday visit for a quieter walk, and leave time to explore the botanical garden or UBC museums nearby.
A walkway through the forest canopy
Greenheart TreeWalk takes you along suspended bridges and walkways set within the forest at UBC Botanical Garden. Tree platforms give you places to pause and look out through the canopy. The suspended route moves gently as people walk across it, adding a sense of motion to the visit.
Netting runs along both sides of the walkways. Even with this protection, the height can be a surprise if you are uncomfortable with heights. Take your time and keep your phone secure while crossing.
