Mountain View Wildlife Conservation Centre

2010 - News and Info

July 10th, 2010

The Visitor Centre is now open for Daily Guided Tours & Presentations-10.00am & 1.00pm.

Call to reserve seats on one of our Daily Tours, Family & Group Tours, or a Birthday party for this Summer 2010. This year, we are focusing on "Biodiversity" in BC, Canada and around the world, especially focusing on our Canadian "Red-listed" wildlife species that are facing extinction, including our BC Northern Spotted Owls, Oregon Spotted Frogs, and the Vancouver Island Marmots.

Mountain View has been successfully operating these critical breeding and recovery programs for many years, and has received Conservation awards for our Owl and Marmot programs. Our educational tours include up to date information about conservation of the environment, habitat conservation, and healthy ecosystems, here in BC and Canada.

Our Guided Tours are approximately 2-hours long, consisting of an audio/visual presentation in our Visitor Centre, followed by a visit to our 300+Acre Conservation Program areas by foot and by tram. You are welcome to bring your cameras.

We also have an interesting Wildlife Art & Gifts Shop for you to visit and purchase souvenirs for your family and friends.

Call 604-882-9313 today to reserve your guided tour today.
