 About
our Programs
Each school visit lasts approximately 1 1/4 hours and is
delivered by a trained natural history interpreter.
Cost is $3 per
student per one hour program. Wildlife Art extended programs are $4
and $6 per student
Small groups are also welcome. A minimum of $50 is required
to book a group smaller than 20 students.
Programs run rain or shine so be prepared to be outside.
The Rotary Interpretive Centre at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
has a meeting area, indoor (and outdoor) washrooms and outdoor picnic
tables. All trails and facilities are wheelchair-accessible.
General parking is to the left, on the dyke, outside the
gates. Parking for the disabled is inside the gates, near the
Interpretive Centre.
Please plan to arrive five minutes before your start time.
Note: Although our programs are geared towards a younger audience, if
your middle or high school class is interested in a visit please call
the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and a wetland tour or environmental project
can be arranged.
Special thanks to Vancouver Foundation for their
support of our education programs.
