Eco-Insights

PicturePhoto: Rob Alexander
The book is designed to provide readers a connection to nature in whatever recreational activity they choose. The aim is to share some connections through Eco-
Insights associated with each activity. Ideally, the focus of each Eco-Insight will be about connections happening in the environment that surround you while you’re there. They may be historical or social, biological or conservation-based, but the hope is to inform your activity and expand your awareness of the area. 


Active Vancouver provides 48 Eco-Insights, or natural history “stories” throughout the book. These include such topics as: 
  • the migration of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds in late April, 
  • how species are able to adapt, survive, and even thrive through a sub-alpine winter, 
  • the incredible adaptations of city-dwelling species that flourish in human built environments 
  • and ideas on how one can foster awareness and curiosity in others while recreating in natural ecosystems
