FIRST DAY OF EVENTS FOR BWF 2010Saturday, March 6
10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Parksville Bay Community Park
Free
Join the Brant Wildlife Festival volunteers and a cast of ‘thousands’ of migrating seabirds, sea lions, seals, eagles, gulls, and Brant as they congregate in the Strait of Georgia waiting for the amazing spring phenomena of the Pacific Herring Spawn. Spotting scopes will be set up and Arrowsmith Naturalists will be on hand to answer all of your questions about the biodiversity in Parksville Bay and the Strait of Georgia.
Learn about the life history of Brant, how biologists keep track of individuals that have been coming to Parksville & Qualicum for decades and about the biodiversity of species that are make the Strait of Georgia ( the Salish Sea) one of the most fascinating places on earth.
Wear comfortable shoes/boots and be prepared for some wet and muddy conditions. Dress warm in layers to be ready for rapidly changing weather conditions. Beaches can be very cold and windy in spring. Binoculars, camera, and boots will be an asset.
Drop by for a hot cupa' joe and join in the fun.
