The Wild Bird Trust of British Columbia (WBT) is a non-profit society that manages the Conservation Area at Maplewood Flats in North Vancouver on the Unceded Territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. The Society’s mandate is dedicated to the protection of wild birds and their habitat, on the principle that all wildlife must benefit.
Since 1993, the Wild Bird Trust of British Columbia (WBT) has created the North Shore’s first wildlife sanctuary from 76 acres of mostly fill, some of which was contaminated. The site now boasts four provincially blue-listed (at risk) species and a bird list which has grown from 208 to 249.Â
As well as the creation of a freshwater wetland and trail system which protects sensitive habitat, projects include: establishing and maintaining one of British Columbia’s largest purple martin colonies, the creation of a killdeer nesting area, and ongoing work to restore the anise swallowtail butterfly to Burrard Inlet.
