Join the BLPA as we celebrate the City of Burnaby’s Environment Week!

Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a jewel in the center of a bustling metropolis. It is a haven for wildlife and people in the heart of the region. Ducks, song​birds, fish and more make their home in this regional park. Level walking trails through mixed forest are a relaxing way for people to connect to nature without having to leave the city.

Join us at Piper Spit where we will have our displays up so you can learn about the birds, wildlife and plant life you will see around the park, the history of the BLPA, our stewardship activities to protect the environment, and how you can get involved.

We will be offering the following guided outings. Click here for more information and links to register.
