Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary
Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary is an accessible green space in Victoria, BC. The Nature Sanctuary is comprised of two physically and ecologically distinct areas – a low wetland area around Swan Lake and a Garry Oak meadow on Christmas Hill.
The 160+ acres of Nature Sanctuary are vital for protecting rare and threatened plants, fungi, and animals, preserving the health of the Colquitz River Watershed, and connecting more than 60,000 visitors to nature each year. We offer community educational programs to learners of all ages.
Visit us in the Nature House Gift Shop and pick up a unique learning kit! (Monday - Friday, 9am - 3pm)
Learn more about the Nature Sanctuary on our website and the biodiversity on our iNaturalist project here.
