Sunshine Coast Natural History Society

"Although originally set up to manage Sechelt Marsh, the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society now caters for a wide range of natural history interests on the Sunshine Coast of BC." There is a focus on birds; however, interests span natural history, including bats, dragonflies, and butterflies. (Quote from the Society's website.)

Biomonitoring Programs: The Society organizes the Sunshine Coast Annual Christmas Bird Count, one of two Christmas bird counts in the Sunshine Coast Regional District, the other centred on Pender Harbour.

Education Programs: Yes. Meetings include discussion of recent natural history sightings. Other educational events include nature walks and regular invited speakers. See the website for upcoming events.

Biomonitoring and Community Science Volunteer Opportunities: No current programs.
