We wanted to express our gratitude to the efforts of our volunteers, including our Board of Directors. They put in over 2300 hours of volunteer time in 2022 – from hands-on stewardship and outreach, to strategic planning, meetings and administration, showing their passion for nature and dedication to the BLPA and Burnaby Lake Regional Park. THANK YOU!
Visit our display at the entrance to Piper Spit to learn about our history, the stewardship work we do and the native species that have benefited from the efforts of our volunteers.
Many birds are also passing through on their spring migration journey along the Pacific Flyway. For the birds that spend spring and summer here, it is the breeding season and there are many nests being built throughout the park. In British Columbia, birds and their nests are protected under the provincial Wildlife Act and the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act. This means restrictions to when and where vegetation clearing may be permitted. As a result, we are unable to host an invasive species removal work party at Piper Spit at this time.
However, you can sign up for a BLPA guided nature walk using popular nature apps and learn how to identify and record your observations, including many of the native species that BLPA volunteers have planted, and the year round and seasonal birds that have been observed at Burnaby Lake!
Lean more about the apps and to register here.
It’s Spring and the BLPA will be out in the park and community, connecting people to Nature with guided outings and displays. Details and registration information will be posted soon.
