Volunteers at the Sanctuary have created a colourful guidebook for visitors. The Guidebook  is rich with maps, pictures of flowers, plants and birds that grow and live in this beautiful urban forest. It truly represents the remarkable beauty of Morrell Nature Sanctuary while being a source of information, inspiration, understanding and awareness. Available from the Main Office during office hours. The cost per guide is $10. Proceeds will support the educational programs and maintenance of the 278 acre park.
