Presentation description: Wildlife Weekends – Roy Jantzen will be presenting his new book, Wildlife Weekends: Wildlife Viewing in Southern BC, and sharing the knowledge he gained from a year of interviewing wildlife researchers around southern BC to highlight 20 species within a weekend’s drive of Greater Vancouver.
Wildlife Weekends has 20 chapters, over 480 pages, and is structured around watching wildlife seasonally. All locations are within a six-hour drive from Vancouver and span an array of species, from Killer Whales off Saturna Island to hummingbirds in Princeton, and from snakes in Osoyoos to Bald Eagles near Harrison. The presentation will include coastal species.
Bio: Roy Jantzen is an environmental educator, naturalist, and author of Active Vancouver: A Year-Round Guide to Outdoor Recreation in the City’s Natural Environments (2015) and Wildlife Weekends: Wildlife Viewing in Southern BC (2025). He holds a Master of Arts in Environmental Education and Communication from Royal Roads University and has had a career as an educator at Capilano University where he taught courses in natural history, ecotourism, and stewardship. For over three decades, Roy has helped educate the public about the importance of biodiversity and our human place within it. Though he has a passion for local ecosystems and the species that inhabit them, he also has a strong desire to relate the environment to our lives and larger issues such as the Sustainable Development Goals, planetary boundaries, and our personal ecological footprints.
