Vancouver, BC (December 2, 2024) The Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES) is hosting a virtual silent auction in December to raise funds for their vital programs and initiatives in the park.
The goal is to raise $20,000 to support SPES’s continuing efforts to nurture an appreciation for nature through educational programming, support conservation efforts, empower research opportunities, and ensure the preservation of Stanley Park for future generations.
“Invasive species are the second leading threat to biodiversity and improving biodiversity is the strongest natural defense against climate change,” says Executive Director Tricia Collingham. “This year our team removed 500 cubic meters of invasive material which equates 50 dump trucks worth and planted over 1,800 native plants (37 species)!”
Silent auction items include a flight with Helijet, a hockey-themed bundle, hotel stays at the Westin Bayshore and Times Square Suites, incredible local artwork including pieces by Susan Point, dining gift cards, attraction and experience passes, and more.
“We conduct regular habitat and wildlife monitoring to study trends in the Park’s health and our team educates thousands of people each year,” adds Collingham. “In 2023, we engaged over 5,000 children in environmental education – we are inspiring the next generation through connection with nature!”
You can help become part of a brighter, greener future, for this fundamental park that is enjoyed by over 18 million visitors a year. The silent auction is available online here.
