Welcome to Nature Guides BC
Nature Guides BC is a small writing and publishing company based in British
Columbia, Canada, specialising in the natural history of the Fraser Estuary and
Boundary Bay. This geographic area, lying immediately south of the city of
Vancouver B.C., is the foremost Important Bird Area (IBA) in Canada, visited by
millions of migratory birds, of many different species.
Our goal is to foster interest in nature and conservation, especially in areas
undergoing rapid urbanisation, and to encourage birdwatching and nature
observation.
On this website you can buy several books on nature and the ecological history of
Boundary Bay and the Fraser Estuary, as well as a guide to growing native plants in
the dry Interior. Visit our Blog for photographs and articles on nature throughout
British Columbia. Go to the Annex tab for checklists to plants and animals of the
Fraser Estuary. Our Links page will connect you to dozens of organizations in the
Lower Mainland B.C. and beyond with interests covering birds, plants, butterflies,
archaeology, history, and much more.
Exploring Boundary Bay and the Fraser Delta?
For field trips in the area, check out Delta Naturalists' Society, Nature Vancouver
and BC Nature, and buy one of our popular guide books (see below) for self-guided
tours. Brochures on a number of nature topics and events are available from Birds
on the Bay.
Contact Nature Guides BC for more information on observing nature in B.C or
planning your ecotourism trip. We can supply bird checklists, advise on guides and
recommend the best places to find particular species. Many organizations and
ecotourism operators run trips to see local wildlife.
