Vancouver Avian Research Centre

Stimulating your interest in wild birds and nature

About Us
 
Who We Are
 
The Vancouver Avian Research Centre is a volunteer organization dedicated to ornithological research education and conservation operated entirely by volunteers lead by Master Bander and Bander-in-charge Derek Matthews.

What We Do

During banding sessions, wild birds are mist-netted; identified to species, measured, and banded under permit and according to procedures prescribed by the federal Bird Banding Laboratory; held for short periods for exhibition to various audiences; and released unharmed. Data collected during these banding sessions is maintained and becomes part of the Center's permanent research database, and is submitted for inclusion in the files of the federal Bird Banding Laboratory in Ottawa.

Where We Work

 
Our stations are located at Burnaby Lake, Colony Farm, Grouse Mountain and on Vancouver’s North Shore – Please follow the links for directions to each of the locations.
