IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Gulls, grebes, and geese, oh my! Our urban Pacific waters are home to countless birds and other sea-faring creatures that swim, squawk, soar, and steal onlookers’ hearts. Take in the sights, sounds, and sea spray of Coal Harbour during this nature walk along the Stanley Park seawall. Watch the wigeons as they waddle around the pond at Devonian Harbour and the grazing geese at Brockton Oval! You may even find elusive Eurasian Wigeon and Snow Geese! Join wildlife photographer and SPES Nature House Educator Frank Lin as he guides you around the southeastern part of the seawall and Devonian Harbour Park to learn about who calls Coal Harbour home.
