Project Summary
Founded in 1918 as the Vancouver Natural History Society, Nature Vancouver engages communities in nature appreciation through activities including field trips, workshops, summer camps, and citizen science projects such as False Creek oyster surveys and habitat restoration at New Brighton Park. The organization relies heavily on volunteer-led programming across disciplines like birding, botany, marine biology, and geology to restore urban ecosystems and build a committed community of local naturalists.
