Burnaby Lake is situated
in Burnaby, British Columbia, which lies in the Coastal
Douglas Fir (CDF) Biogeoclimatic Zone of British
Columbia.
It is a 750 acre wildlife conservation area owned by the
Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks and is managed
by the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) in
cooperation with the City of Burnaby.
The area plays an important regional role in ecological
and wildlife diversity by providing habitat for breeding
and migrating birds.
The Burnaby Lake Avian Research Centre conducts a bird
banding program to monitor landbird migration at the
Burnaby Lake Regional Park reserve in a sensitive
ecosystem using standard banding protocols.
Additionally, it collects data, which may be used to
determine the extent to which future development may
impact the breeding habitat of birds in the Burnaby Lake
area.

Our mission statement is to stimulate your interest in
wild birds and nature by providing opportunities to both
learn about and interact with local and migratory birds.
