Mountain View Conservation Centre relies on the support of its members, donors and sponsors to fund a large portion of its operations.
The difference between members and donors, is that a donor will receive a tax receipt whereas members are given specific visiting privileges and therefore are not eligible for tax receipts. If you plan to be in the Langley area and wish to visit the centre, membership will allow visiting and participation in an escorted tour. As a conservation centre, our first responsibility is to the animals in our care. We are not a zoo and can not offer general admission nor is direct access, touching or feeding of the animals permitted.
