Get to know our local feathered friends while in community outdoors. Led by biologist Rémi Torrenta, this program will guide participants through encounters with the local birds found in Stanley Park. Explore the waters of Lost Lagoon and the trees and plants that line the trail, and keep your eyes and ears out for the many summer residents that could be found, such as warblers, swallows, hummingbirds, flycatchers, and more. No experience necessary, and participants will be able to borrow binoculars from Rémi!</p><div><br /></div><p>This event is reserved specifically for LGBTQ2S+ individuals, in order to provide a safe and inclusive space to explore birding and nature.</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-align:start;max-width:100%"><br /></p><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-align:center">LEADER BIO</p><p>Rémi Torrenta (he/him) is the British Columbia Projects Coordinator and Bird Biologist at Birds Canada, and passionate about anything related to wildlife and wilderness adventures.
