The largest species discovery event in Whistler!

If you ever wanted to learn all about Whistler flora and fauna and pack
all that learning into one day…here is your chance! Scientists and
species specialists are coming from all over to do a blitz of whatever can
be identified in one day. Last year over 900 species were counted in
Whistler and we are going for well over 1000 total after this year. You
