Environmental Extravaganza
Explore nature this spring with the Environmental Extravaganza!

Thank you for exploring nature with us this spring! From self-guided activities such as Park Crawls to 100 different in-person and online programs and events, there was something for everyone to explore Surrey parks. Over 1000 people learned how to fish and identify native plants, explored parks, trails and gardens, watched birds and discovered owls, and celebrated bees and other pollinators.
Surrey’s Environmental Extravaganza is a long-running series of free environmental programs that run from April to June each year, hosted in collaboration with our community partners. Discover how you can connect with nature all year-round.
