BLPA Holiday Open House 2025 - Winter Nature Walk

BLPA Guided Winter Nature Walk

Burnaby Lake may seem dormant in the winter, but there is still plenty of color and life to explore! Join us for an easy walk on forested trails - take in the crisp air, observe winter wildlife and learn about the plants around the trails.

Please check the forecast and dress for the weather so you are safe and comfortable.

Plan to arrive early or stay after the outing so you can join in on the fun of the BLPA's annual Holiday Open House! Enjoy a warm beverage while you learn about the BLPA, what we do and how you can get involved. Decorate your own Wood Duck Cookie and test your nature knowledge with a trivia question!

The event will take place rain (unless an atmostpheric river) or shine.

We welcome everyone, including people of differing abilities, those who are Black, Indigenous or People of Color (BIPOC), and people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+). We’ll be using Burnaby Lake Regional Park trails which are accessible to wheelchair-users, people who use mobility aids, or child strollers.
