Have you noticed small trees mysteriously disappearing from the shores of Burnaby Lake? It’s likely the work of beavers, and dusk is the best time to spot them.

To register, call 604-432-6359 and use barcode 6470. Or, if you’re interested in identifying birds through their songs, there’s a bird-watching tour on Saturday, April 2, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
