• Young birds, including ducklings
• Early southbound migratory sandpipers
• and more!

About our Trail Host:
Sam has loved nature from a young age. In 2011, Sam’s grandparents took him birding and, from that day, he was hooked on birds. Through his volunteer work with the Environmental Youth Alliance, Sam developed a strong interest in plants. This passion led him to pursue his education in horticulture. Sam loves to share his knowledge of nature with others. Sam has worked at the Coast Salish Native Plant Nursery and is part of the Wild Bird Trust habitat restoration team.
