Current Activities

Bat Conservation

We conduct bat roost surveys in Coquitlam River Park and Pitt Meadows, lead bat walks at Mundy Park, and maintain bat boxes at Blakeburn Lagoons.

Bird Conservation

Burke Mountain Naturalists runs monthly bird surveys across Coquitlam and installs and maintains bird boxes at Widgeon Marsh Regional Park and Minnekhada Regional Park.

Water Quality

We are doing monthly water quality testing at Como Lake and Blakeburn Lagoons to test for alkalinity, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ph, and turbidity. Twice a year we conduct invertebrate surveys.

Habitat Conservation

Our members do invasive species removal at Deboville Slough and Como Lake, and commission research from BCIT and SFU students on how best to manage these areas in partnership with First Nations, local, regional, and provincial governments.

Stewardship

Burke Mountain Naturalists grow the next generation of conservationists through monthly nature walks, field trips to local nature parks and trails, tabling events, high school STEM programs, and more!

We invite you to take part in conserving nature areas in the Tri-Cities area by coming to an event. You will have an opportunity to meet like-minded people, and make a real difference.  Events are published on our web site calendar and on Facebook.
