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.

MEMBERS & FRIENDS ATTENDED OUR OPEN HOUSE AT MOUNTAIN VIEW CONSERVATION

Langley Field Naturalists presented their "Biodiversity Inventory" of the Flora and Fauna in our Crown Land area. They inventoried over 500 species of animals and plants and trees, and we are now preparing a colourful presentation display of photos and trail maps of the area.
Their "Biodiversity" guide will be available for purchase in the gift store later this summer.

New Births

Although we in Canada normally think of Spring as the birthing season, at Mountain View births can occur at anytime in the year. New babies arrive regularly, and we are continually increasing our populations of new animals. This in turn allows us to fulfill our mission to rebuild populations for release back to the wild.

With every new birth we are always anxious to secure some financial support for their care. Please consider adopting an animal. There are three different levels of adoption that can help with everything from new born assistance to a full year of vet and feed care. Adoption makes a great gift for children, grandparents and friends to celebrate a special occasion.

You can also click on the “Baby Pictures” link above to find photos of some of the babies born at Mountain View over the last few years.
