The Vancouver Avian Research Centre conducts bird monitoring and banding programs at 4 locations in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland:
 

These areas each play an important regional role in ecological and wildlife diversity by providing habitat for breeding and migrating birds.
The primary purpose of each station is to conduct long-term monitoring of bird populations and migration using standard monitoring and banding protocols. This provides data for guiding conservation policies which may be used to determine the extent to which future development may impact the migratory and breeding habitat of birds in the Greater Vancouver area.
Our stations enable and encourage volunteers to participate in the scientific study of birds and the environment.  The results of these studies and more general information are made freely available to researchers and to the public who are welcome to visit our stations.

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.
