July 5 | The Wild Side of Campbell Valley

Local stewardship groups are providing interactive displays over the summer to help us celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Campbell Valley Regional Park.

The Langley Field Naturalists will be on hand to show you the animals that call this park home. Pull on your hiking boots, pack your binoculars and drop in to the Campbell Valley Visitor Centre to start your natural adventure.

Families can borrow a free Discovery Pack and go on a self-guided muck-about in pond or forest.

Make a craft and play with our tiny tree house and wild puppets. Field guides are available for adults to identify that local plant or animal. Learn the plant or bird of the week.

Volunteer hosts will share their knowledge about the park’s history, wildlife and features. You can become a volunteer host, and need only contribute two 3 hour shifts over the summer.

Please call 604-530-4983 for more information.

Time:    1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Campbell Valley Visitor Centre
The Visitor Centre is located at the corner of 8th Avenue and 204th Street in Langley, via the South Valley park entrance. Follow the path to the yellow building.
