Join David Parent on this all day excursion to British Columbia to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. It consists of nearly 300 hectares (850 acres) of managed wetlands, natural marshes and low dykes in the heart of the Fraser River Estuary. For the millions of birds seeking feeding and resting areas during their annual migrations along the Pacific Coast, the Sanctuary is ideally located. It is a place where wildlife and their habitats are protected from harm, and it lies next to miles of flat marshland and the farmland of Westham Island.

Participants need a valid passport to cross the border into Canada. Participants MUST make reservations for each vehicle two days in advance on the Reifel website for the 9 to 11a.m. arrival time. Staff will turn you away if you don’t have a reservation. After Reifel we will bird the paved trail at Boundary Bay. We will meet at the Sanctuary entrance at 10 a.m. Any questions, contact trip leader Dave Parent.

The trip is limited to 12 participants and is now full as of March 20. Those on the waiting list will be notified of their position and contacted if there is a cancellation.
