2011 Annual Report
A Message from the Board
For several years I have had the honour of writing the President’s message for the annual report, representing our charity’s Board of Directors and reporting on the activities of our Society. I am pleased to report that NWPS continues to be financially stable maintaining its focus on providing excellent environmental education programs throughout the province of BC.
Before I go on to highlight our past year’s activities, I want to thank all the volunteers, donors and partners who contribute so much to NWPS each and every year. None of the work we do would be possible without your continued support. The Board would like to sincerely thank you all.
This year we welcome Kristine Krynitzki as the Executive Assistant to our staff, providing relief to Ann Peters, our Executive Director, and assisting Darren Colello, our Education and Communications Coordinator. Kristine comes to us with an excellent background in marketing and communications with strong fundraising skills. Kristine joined us in March, assisted with our office move in July, and ran the highest-ever yielding Green Ribbon campaign (April and October) to date. With the help of Kristine and her marketing savvy, NWPS now has an updated website, engaging Facebook page and can be connected with on Twitter and through our blog.
Under Darren’s leadership, NWPS delivered over 150 education programs in schools and around Lower Mainland parks. Darren achieved the highest recorded number of delivered presentations, nature walks and stewardship programs for NWPS in a single year, touching the lives of over 5,000 children and helping them better understand and respect wildlife and the natural environment. Darren delivered two very successful Youth Estuary Stewardship projects this year, resulting in the largest volume of woody debris removal in NWPS’s history.
In September, NWPS entered into a significant partnership with FortisBC to create a post-secondary level focused contest, extending our reach further. NWPS will be hosting the Youth Energy & Environment Action Program’s (YEEAP) Beat the Heat contest. This contest challenges students currently registered at a recognized post-secondary institution in British Columbia to create and submit a plan to optimize natural gas use for a greener BC. FortisBC has provided funding for the contest development and management, as well as the two major prizes: $10,000 and $5,000.

2011 Annual Report
2011 was declared UN INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF FORESTS. The objective was to raise awareness about the precarious state of forests in many developed and developing countries, as well as provide guidance on ways to preserve and manage forests sustainably. The UN estimates that 350 square kilometers of forests are lost every day. Pressures come from clearing areas for agricultural uses, livestock, timber and urban settlement. We in British Columbia and all those in North America are very fortunate to have well-managed forests.
With the focus on forests, we will celebrate NWPS’ 25th Anniversary in 2012
by planting hundreds of trees.
On the advent of NWPS’ 25th Anniversary, we take time to reflect and
recommit to our focus on environmental education as the way forward to a more sustainable future. NWPS has reached over 200,000 people in the 25 years we have been running our environmental education programs and we know that we have made a significant impact on our audiences. Children who have had our programs delivered in their schools have shared with us the positive impacts our presentations have had on their way of looking at wildlife and wild spaces. We see the benefits of environmental education in the ways that corporations and governments are supporting and promoting community sustainability initiatives. NWPS has seen an increase in the number of individuals interested in volunteering and funding our programs. All of these benefits have truly come from years of education; not only from NWPS, but from society’s focus on the importance of protecting our environment.
NWPS has moved further forward in our work to raise awareness of the importance of wildlife and wildlife habitat by becoming stewards of 240 acres of Vancouver Island farmland. We are looking for funding support to enable us to further develop the property as a bird and wildlife sanctuary, as well as provide environmental education programs that highlight the ecological value of the area.
Thank you again to all of our supporters. We would not be able to accomplish all that we do without your continued help.
Sincerely,
NWPS 203-5066 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 2E7 t 604.568.9160 f 604.568.6152 e info@northwestwildlife.com 6
2011 Annual Report
NWPS HISTORY
Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit society, dedicated to preserving healthy wildlife and wildlife systems in northwest North America. Since that time, NWPS has earned a reputation within the environmental community as a powerful advocate for wildlife. This is largely through the development and delivery of a broad series of educational programs and services, newsletters and correspondence, which reach thousands of individuals annually. These activities include Wildlife Programs, Nature Walks and Workshops and Youth Estuary Stewardship Projects. Additionally, NWPS has worked, and continues to work, with many other environmental groups bringing together diverse interests in the areas of wildlife management policy, protection and conservation.

Highlights – Environmental Education Programs
2011 was a very successful year for NWPS. With a 30% increase in wildlife
education programs delivered from last year, 2011 was the second busiest year in
our history. Our wildlife education programs reached over 6,000 individuals of all
ages across the entire Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
IN-CLASS WILDLIFE PROGRAMS
Our in-class wildlife programs are highly interactive, educational and have become
a staple for many schools’ environmental study units. They combine engaging
wildlife photography and animal vocalizations with hands–on learning to create a
presentation that is passion-filled and awe-inspiring. Presentations are for all age
groups and foster strong respect for and conservation of wildlife and wild habitats.
We offer a diverse selection of topics including;
Bats Bears Climate Change
Endangered Species Owls Reptiles & Amphibians
Temperate Rainforest Salmon Wildcats of BC
Wildlife of BC Wolves

NATURE WALKS & WORKSHOPS
Our Nature Walks & Workshops program is another
program that is often booked several months in advance.
These programs combine in-class presentations and
discussions with hands on learning out in the field. A wide
variety of topics are explored such as wildlife behaviour,
natural history, animal adaptations and habitat
preservation. Each program includes a stewardship activity
at a local, regional or provincial park. Through our guided nature walks, students are
able to reconnect with the natural world and become active environmental stewards
within their communities and beyond.
YOUTH ESTUARY STEWARDSHIP (YES)
Our Youth Estuary Stewardship (YES) program is a
highly involved and in-depth program that combines
several in-class sessions with two full days out in the
field. The aim of this program is to introduce students to,
and ultimately protect, one of Canada’s most important
estuarine habitats, the lower Fraser River basin. This ecosystem is incredibly
biodiverse in that it supports a myriad of mammal, bird, fish and invertebrate species.
The Fraser River is the largest salmon producing river in the world, often with hundreds
of millions of people relying on its conservation. Throughout this program, in-class
studies are designed to introduce students to the value of estuaries and the species
that depend on them, as well as keystone wildlife identification and animal behaviours.
During these sessions, students are prepared for their field activities. In the field,
sessions include a comprehensive nature walk as
well as activities specific to the region and help
students directly link their knowledge with hands-on
work. The final stewardship activity during the YES
program is the removal of industrial woody debris
and garbage to rehabilitate the area. The debris we
clear occurs from a host of industrial activities and
crushes native vegetation, which decreases the
overall biodiversity of the region. Students and
volunteers are highly motivated to clean up these areas and in the last three years
alone, more than 30,000 lbs (13,600 kgs) of industrial woody debris has been removed
from the Fraser River estuary. This process allows the vegetation to rebound and a
greater diversity of species return to the area.

2011 Special Events
EarthFest
For Earth Week in April, NWPS celebrated at
EarthFest in Burnaby. It was a very successful event
that provided truly ‘wild’ activities. Participants were able to go on nature tours
throughout Burnaby Lake Regional Park, build bat and bird boxes
and explore a wide variety of animal biofacts from BC
including rare skulls and full size animal mounts.
Fingerling Festival
NWPS was again invited to the Salmon Festival at Noons Creek
Hatchery in May. Thousands of salmon fry were released into the
pristine watershed with the hopes of their survival and the continued
success of this keystone species. NWPS set up a popular display
highlighting the salmon and the various animal species throughout
British Columbia, from bald eagles to grizzly bears, that
depend on them.

2011 Annual Report
Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
Once again, in September NWPS actively participated in the Great
Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, hosting a site in Deep Cove, North
Vancouver. This nationwide effort cleared 143,747 kg of aquatic
debris from 3,144 km of our country’s shorelines. Our targeted efforts
cleaned debris from the entire shoreline at Panorama Park as well as the
surrounding picnic areas. In addition to our cleanup, NWPS staff
provided visitors to the cleanup site with information about the effects of
aquatic debris and pollution as well as intriguing insight to much of the
wildlife that depend on this park and suffer from litter along our shores. A
special thank you goes out to all who
assisted on that rainy autumn day.

Khutzeymateen
In June our Education & Communications
Coordinator, Darren, had the unique opportunity to
visit one of the last truly pristine wilderness regions
in BC – the Khutzeymateen valley. This is a land of
stunning beauty, where grizzly bears, wolves, bald
eagles and other animals thrive within the intact temperate rainforest. The
Khutzeymateen is Canada’s first and only grizzly bear sanctuary and supports
approximately 50 of these majestic creatures. Darren was able to spend time
with other biologists studying the grizzlies’ movements, dietary preferences and
behaviours. In total he witnessed 21 grizzlies including males, females and
their cubs. This is a region that could be used as a blueprint for habitat and
species conservation throughout British
Columbia and is a gem in our parks system; one
where it is the animals that reign supreme.
2011 Annual Report
Highlights—Fundraising
Corporate Sponsors & Business Donors
2011 brought with it some financial challenges for NWPS but overall it was quite a good year. NWPS has been very fortunate to have partnered with the most steadfast group of companies around. Even during these tough economic times, these groups continued to be the backbone of our support. A very heartfelt Thank You goes out to everyone who helped us fund another year of ever-important environmental education work. We’d like to extend particular thanks to our corporate sponsors and business donors for providing us the opportunity to continue our work in the community: BC Gaming, BC Hydro, FortisBC, Hamber Foundation, RBC Foundation, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, TELUS Vancouver Community Board, Vancity Foundation; Army, Navy, Airforce Vets branch 100, BCAA, Bentall Kennedy LP, Burnaby Firefighters, C&C Destination Tours, Cougar Canyon Ventures, Fraser Valley MRI Clinic, Hastings Park Conservancy, JSK Traiffic Control Services, Lo-Rez Vibration Control, K&R Poultry andThe Royal Canadian Legion.
Annual Outreach
With the postal strike and many catastrophic natural disasters requiring immediate aid in 2011, it was a difficult financial year for NWPS as many individual donors were unable to provide support to our programs. As with our corporate sponsors, we are so lucky to have such a steadfast group of individual donors. Even though many couldn’t donate to the levels they have done in previous years, many continued to support us as best they could throughout the year. Without this loyal dedication on the part of each and every individual donor, NWPS would not have the privilege of continuing to deliver our environmental education programs, instilling responsible environmental stewardship in children of all ages throughout our great province.
Green Ribbon Campaign
2011 saw the 10th year of our Green Ribbon Campaign. Thanks to the invaluable
support of Chevron and BC Liquor Distribution Board, NWPS raised close to $6,500 in donations throughout the Lower Mainland in stores from West Vancouver to Chilliwack and every point in between. Thank you to all the board members, volunteers and staff that took the time to help make this year’s campaign a huge success.

7. GRANFIELD ESTATE – Manley Farm Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary
Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society has received a bequest from the estate of Ms. C. Granfield in 2010 for the transfer of approximately 240 acres of property on Vancouver Island located a few miles south of Duncan, BC. The agreement reflects provisions in Ms. Granfield's will requiring the property to be preserved as a farm and to the greatest extent possible for a bird and wildlife sanctuary. NWPS is now engaged in the process of developing funding for and transitioning the property to a bird and wildlife sanctuary to be known as the Manley Farm Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Highlights – What’s to come in 2012
2012 will be a year of reflection, celebration, evaluation and growth as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. Since 1987 we have built upon the work of our founders to create what is today a widely recognized and revered wildlife preservation group and staple throughout Lower Mainland classrooms. We’re excited to reflect on all of our successes over the years and thank all those who made them possible. We’re also excited to evaluate our work and place among wildlife conservationists and the general public alike to see how we can continue to meet the needs of northwest North America.
As a growing organization we are very focused on furthering the initiatives on Manley Farm in Cobble Hill, our property on Vancouver Island. To jumpstart operations on the ground, we plan to bring aboard new partners that will be based in the area to assist with improving the Bird & Wildlife Sanctuary and to help bring education programs to schools throughout the area.
2012 will also see the bulk of the action for our newest education program, the Youth Energy and Environment Action Program (YEEAP). Beat the Heat contest, the main component of YEEAP, is a student challenge searching for the next great green plan to help curb climate change. Serving as a forward-thinking educational platform that provokes thought, discussion, engagement and action in post-secondary and post-graduate institutes in BC, Beat the Heat seeks to advance energy efficiency and environmental conservation initiatives in the province and beyond. Learn more about this exciting partnership with FortisBC at www.beattheheatcontest.com.
There is a lot of work to be done, but with the dedication of our supportive team of Directors, staff members, volunteers, members, sponsors and donors, 2012 is sure to be another great year!
