The Nature Trust of BC is proud to return as an Eagle Sponsor of The Brant Wildlife Festival, and we’re offering two exclusive guided tours!
The Brant Wildlife Festival, hosted by the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region, is a one-of-a-kind celebration of nature, conservation, and biodiversity on Vancouver Island. Each spring, thousands gather to witness the incredible migratory return of Brant geese and explore the rich ecosystems that make this region so special.
This festival is packed with exciting events that connect people with nature, inspire conservation action, and highlight the importance of protecting critical habitat. With wildlife at its most active—herring spawning, birds migrating, and coastal ecosystems bustling—there’s no better time to experience the natural beauty of the region.
Join our West Coast Conservation Land Management team for a closer look at the protected landscapes we help steward.
