Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary is home to over 200 bird species. Compared to other Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in the region, the Nature Sanctuary is an eBird hotspot with the second-most-biodiverse site with unrestricted access.

Our Gift Shop is also home to our Visitor Services team who can help answer questions, share information about upcoming events, and show you around the Nature House!

The Nature Sanctuary has launched an exciting Native Plant Growers Program, aimed at enhancing onsite ecosystem restoration efforts and supporting community participation and knowledge sharing.

The Silver Swans are a group of fabric artists, crafters, and quilters who come together in friendship to create fabric art and quilted items for the Nature Sanctuary.

Our educational programs are designed to connect with and supplement the BC provincial core learning objectives such as critical thinking, effective communication, and personal responsibility.

Forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, means taking in the forest atmosphere with all one's senses. Not simply a walk in the woods, it’s a conscious, contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest.
