Volunteers at the Sanctuary have created a colourful guidebook for visitors. The Morrell Nature Sanctuary Guidebook  is rich with maps, pictures of flowers, plants and birds that grow and live in this beautiful urban forest. It is 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.
