VOLUNTEER EVENT

This spring migration season, join us to volunteer in our Global Big Day Bird Count! Timed with World Migratory Bird Day, the worldwide event invites tens of thousands of people every year to go birding and record their species lists on eBird. The theme for this year’s World Migratory Bird Day highlights the importance of citizen science: Every Bird Counts – Your Observation Matter.

In addition to our monthly bird counts, we at Stanley Park Ecology participate in Global Big Day every year with a team of birders who venture around Lost Lagoon and Beaver Lake to record as many birds as we can.

How to Join:

• Sign up as a volunteer in our system to join the team! Find more information about how to become a volunteer here: https://stanleyparkecology.ca/about-stanley-park-ecology/volunteer/#register
• Then, send an email to Frank at naturehouse@stanleyparkecology.ca to confirm your interest.

This event is part of the Greater Vancouver Bird Celebration!

ABOUT THE GREATER VANCOUVER BIRD CELEBRATION 

Get more familiar with the birds around us during the Greater Vancouver Bird Celebration! Organized by a collection of non-profits, artists, and other institutions, the Celebration is a two-week series of events to appreciate the bird species of Greater Vancouver. Events are open to all and most are free, with programs including bird-related workshops, walks, talks, exhibitions, and lectures. Check out all the events here: https://vancouverbirdcelebration.ca/  

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
