IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Come along for our “Your Observation Matters” Bird Walk Series, and meet our panelists in an outdoor setting!
Join Khalid Boudreau, Education Director at Special Bird Service, and Frank Lin, SPE Educator and wildlife photographer, for a special bird walk here in Stanley Park. Explore the birds found in nearby ecosystems during the peak of spring migration, with singing warblers and colourful hummingbirds flying through trees and flower-filled shrubs. No birding knowledge or experience necessary, just bring your curiosity! Participants can borrow binoculars, and there is also a chance to sign up after the main Panel event.
This Bird Walk is associated with our Your Observation Matters: Citizen Science in Birding Panel. Register to attend the panel on May 2nd for a discount code that can be used on this event. The discount code will be automatically sent in your registration email.
LEADER BIO
Khalid is a longtime nature lover and organizer. He has been a birdwatcher from age six and understands well that our health and the health of the larger ecosystem are inseparable. He has been active in Vancouver organizing spaces since he was a teenager, primarily around issues of racial and environmental justice. In 2023, he co-founded the starseed collective, a collective of native plant enthusiasts that provide native seeds to people around the Salish sea region free of charge. Taking inspiration from people like James Baldwin, Angela Davis, and Mariame Kaba, he believes that the power to effect the big changes we need is in the community, and through cross-struggle solidarity we will build a better world.

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”.
