Instead of our monthly General Meeting, Comox Valley Nature is celebrating our 60th anniversary at the Filberg Centre, Rotary Hall, 411 Anderton Ave, Courtenay.This event is open to CVN members and guests. We’d love to see longtime members, new faces and friends of nature alike. Bring your curiosity, your stories, and your sense of wonder.

Learn about the history of this area, including how the former sewage lagoon has become one of the most popular walking spots in the Comox Valley. Check out the restoration work that has replaced invasive plant species and added more native plants, shrubs and trees that is being done by Comox Valley Nature in partnership with the City of Courtenay. Hear why invasive plant species are so damaging to the ecosystems. Enjoy the view from the "lookout" over the estuary and be reminded how important the estuary is to the web of life.REGISTRATION required on our events page cvnature.ca/events An easy 1 km walk on a wheelchair accessible paved path.
