Meadowlark Nature Festival Best Annual Community Event in South Okanagan

This just in from the Meadowlark Festival!

Meadowlark Nature Festival
15th Anniversary Event

From May 17th to May 21st immerse yourself in the unique natural diversity of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys.

The Meadowlark Nature Festival was once again voted the ‘Best Annual Community Event in the South Okanagan’ by readers of Okanagan Life Magazine, a sign that eco-tourism is alive and well in the southern interior.

The Festival offers over 90 environmental tours and events held under the open sky, which will take people from Canada’s unique desert to the alpine meadows high above the Okanagan Lake. Indigenous cultural tours, horseback rides, canoe trips, guided walks, bird watching tours, geology and history tours, art exhibits, hands-on presentations on astronomy, nature photography, sustainable green buildings and more, are all designed to be fun and informative for people of all ages and abilities.

What started as a small environmental festival 14 years ago has evolved into one of Canada's premier outdoor celebrations of nature. People from across North America and as far away as Europe now come for the tours, lectures, workshops and other activities led by prominent naturalists, educators, artists and scientists.

The Meadowlark Nature Festival is organized by the Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA) to encourage people of all ages to experience, discover and explore their natural environment. The Okanagan-Similkameen hosts a rare mosaic of natural habitats; among them is one of Canada’s most endangered ecosystems - the hot, dry shrub-grasslands. A springtime look at these shrub-grasslands, known as Canada’s ‘pocket desert’, reveals a riot of colour flourishing in this seemingly harsh environment. This popular 5-day Festival especially celebrates and showcases the unique wildlife and habitats found in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. Many distinct types of wildlife habitat are home to some of the most diverse and rare assemblages of plant and animal species in the country.

Walk-in ticket sales for the 92 events begin Saturday, April 14, from 11am to 2pm (doors open at 10am) at Suite 203, 246 Martin Street, Penticton. Tickets will be available online at www.meadowlarkfestival.bc.ca beginning the same day at 2pm. Visit the website for further details about all tours and events.
