Other Registration Info	Please book early as possible, we have limited capacity and can only run two student tours daily, at 9.00 or 10.00am, and 12.noon or 1.00pm. We are flexible, so you can arrive early for the tours if that is more convenient to you timewise. We also offer picnic facilities for your student group at Mountain View for lunch, and if you have a very large group, we can arrange to split your tour into groups so that all students can experience our facility. For us to do that, it would help if you could book both tour times, in other words book the facility exclusively for your school that day - please give us lots of advance notice. We would then name that day after your school name, I.E. Robert Bateman School Day at Mountain View Conservation. Extra teachers and parents are welcome depending on available spaces. Thank you. 2010 Tours Please Note: Operating since 1986, we will be saying farewell to all our exotic species that we have been raising for the past 25 years.

Our Field Trips

Conservation of Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat, A Guided Educational Tour for Students.

IN 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, we will provide your students with a narrated, 2 1/2-hour (150-minutes) educational guided tour of the Conservation Centre. Mountain View operates Canadian Wildlife Conservation programs that save rare and endangered species from extinction, by breeding and reintroducing their offspring back into the wilds of BC. Special Note: We will be saying farewell to our exotic species that we have been raising for the past 25 years. Those world renowned "Breeding and Recovery" programs include the critically endangered Mhorr Gazelle, Addax Antelope and Scimitar Horned Oryx. They will be leaving Mountain View this year. so your 2010 field trip will be the last opportunity for your students to see these unique animals. From 2010 on, we will focus on saving local wildlife species in BC that are facing extinction, including Northern Spotted Owls, Oregon Spotted Frogs and Vancouver Island Marmots. Our Narrated/Guided tours include up to date information about conservation of the environment, habitat conservation, healthy ecosystems, in BC and Canada.
