Chilliwack’s Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve was a busy place on the weekend.

Its annual two-day Family Nature Festival offered touch-and-feel stations, guided tours, animal info sessions, arts and crafts and more.

Some of the guided tours included a walk to the heron colony where trees were packed with nesting great blue herons, plus tours of the reserve’s “beaver construction site.”

Tables were set up inside the main building where guests could see taxidermied animals, and various animal skulls and pelts. Arts, crafts, games and activity stations were also offered for kids.
