Nature in the city

We are privileged to care for essential natural spaces across the city.

The following strategies and focus areas guide the Park Board and our partners in enhancing and taking care of these spaces for the community.

Every Vancouver resident should be able to witness the magic of seeing a salmon in their local stream, whales in the harbour, and an eagle above them.
