Join us for the Brant Wildlife Festival in Parksville Qualicum Beach. The festival celebrates nature, particularly the return of the Brant geese as they rest on beaches midway between their wintering areas and nesting grounds. This year the theme of the festival is Beaches, Marshes and Estuaries. The festival features more than 25 events for all ages and interests. Activities include wildlife viewing, river walks, nature camps for kids, a bioblitz, nature carving and art, and more. Visit http://brantfestival.bc.ca for details.
