Golden Wildlife Festival of Birds and Bears $5,000
Rocky Mountain Trench Discovery Centre Society

The Golden Wildlife Festival of Birds and Bears is an annual wildlife festival, in it’s sixth season.

Our mission is to “ offer residents and visitors an annual opportunity to explore the area’s rich natural environment and to gain awareness of their place in nature through a variety of educational and informative special features, events and presentations.”

The Festival is named after the Golden area’s noteworthy wildlife, birds and bears, which occur at comparatively high densities in our region due to the excellent habitat of the Columbia Wetlands and relatively undeveloped forest lands.

The Festival is held the second week of May, at the peak of spring migration for the birds and the end of winter hibernation for the bears. This year the Festival is May 8th to 10th with our exhibit and environmental education programs in the schools running April 28 to May 11th.

The Festival has presentations by experts in the field of natural history both on a national and local level.
