Supporting Wildlife in Pender Harbour
About the Society
Founded in 1979, the Pender Harbour and District Wildlife Society has sought to reverse the damage caused by human habitation and improve the life of flora and fauna across the length of the Sunshine Coast. With projects that promote the well being of wildlife, remove invasive plants, and reach out to the community, we believe in improving our environment for all of its inhabitants.
The PHWS is comprised of nearly sixty people from retirees to children, local residents, guests, and seasonal vacationers united under one goal. Members range from back yard naturalists to experienced experts, artists, biologists, teachers, and conservationists.
Our members celebrate nature with their many hobbies, including photography, fishing, sailing, bird watching, hiking, and biking.
