A Nature Guide to Boundary Bay
April 7 2006
Launch of a New Book on Wildlife of the Boundary Bay Area
This weekend sees the launch of the first, comprehensive, nature guidebook to Boundary Bay, the most significant area for bird diversity and numbers in the whole of Canada, and a key wildlife habitat at the mouth of the Fraser River.
A Nature Guide to Boundary Bay is written by Anne Murray, winner of the Queen's Golden Jubilee award for nature conservation. Over 170 colour photographs by Dr David Blevins illustrate the plants, animals and landscapes that can be found around Boundary Bay.
Boundary Bay is a premier birding area and wildlife destination in the heart of the Fraser River estuary. This dramatic and diverse coastal landscape connects British Columbia with Washington State, and lies just 30 km south of Vancouver, B.C.. The book covers all of Boundary Bay and its watershed, including Burns Bog, North Delta, Tsawwassen, Ladner, Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Richmond in British Columbia, and Blaine, Point Roberts and the Drayton Harbor watershed in Washington State. According to renowned B.C. naturalist and author, Richard Cannings, "A Nature Guide to Boundary Bay is one of those rare local guides that informs you about the broader world as well as your own backyard. Everyone in southwestern British Columbia should have this book on hand.";
Author, Anne Murray, has worked on the book for over four years: "My hope is that this book will both open the door to an appreciation of Boundary Bay's natural beauty and encourage its wise conservation.";
Murray and Blevins have self-published the book, under the company name Nature Guides B.C..
It is available on line at www.natureguidesbc.com or at selected bookstores. Book talks and signings will be taking place at a number of locations around the Lower Mainland in the next few weeks. Please contact Nature Guides B.C. at info@natureguidesbc.com or 604 943 0273 for more details.
ISBN 0 -9780088-0-4 Soft cover, 6"; x9";, 224 pages, 171 colour photographs, 2 maps. Recommended retail price $24.95 Can., $20.95 US; printed in Canada by Friesens on recycled paper. Published by Nature Guides B.C.
