Shaping an environmentally sustainable future for the Clayoquot and Barkley Sound region through education and community stewardship
We will kick off the Tofino Shorebird Festival with a social evening to celebrate the migration of the shorebirds, meet other bird enthusiasts, and go over the festival schedule while enjoying food and drink.
This is the best opportunity to spend some time down on the Tofino mudflats to view flocks of shorebirds foraging and resting during their annual migration north.
We will get together after a full day of adventure and birding to recap the highlights of the day and share observations.
