Nature Viewing Guide

Paradise Meadows is one of the special sites featured on a new Nature Viewing Guide brochure being produced by the Comox Valley Naturalists Society.
The brochure will be available at the next CVNS meeting on Sunday Nov. 20 - check their website for time & location. After that, the brochure will be available at the Comox Valley Visitors Centre and at other locations around the Valley.

An on-line version of the Comox Valley Nature Viewing Guide is already available - the website has much more detail & many more sites of interest around the Valley. Check out the Paradise Meadows page hereThere are links to photo galleries, bird & plant checklists, geology info & many more resources.

While it will be many months till spring & summer comes again to the meadows, there are many other nature viewing site to explore in the Valley in the meantime!

And, photographer Tim Penney has joined as a new blogger! Tim is a frequent winter explorer of Strathcona Park.
