The area I have selected for my field project is a city park located in north east false creek, Vancouver, British Columbia. It is a new park that measures roughly three acres. It is a flat area with vegetation that includes flower beds, weeds and trees in the periphery. The centre of the park includes a children’s playground. I visited the park at 6pm on a Saturday on a hot summer day with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. My observations at the park left me with many questions. I wondered why bees preferred to be around some flowers rather then other. I questioned why certain types of weeds in a particular area were dying while other weeds in a different area thrived. I also wondered why I did not witness any birds at the park, whereas I see many birds (particularly crows) circulating around the trees in downtown Vancouver.
