Our Wildlife Garden showcases all the wonderful native plants that we grow here on Vancouver Island!
We often rescue owls that have suffered injuries as a result of being struck by cars on the side of the road while they were hunting mice that were eating food thrown out of cars. This Barred Owl lost an eye and will live here the rest of his life.
We love teaching groups about wildlife and environmental issues. This is a live owl presentation in our amazing Learning Centre.
