Wildlife Viewing

Our maps contain a wealth of wildlife viewing and birding information, with clearly labelled wildlife viewing areas shown across the country. This includes bird sanctuaries, wildlife preserves, ecological reserves and national and provincial parks, plus countless trails and scenic roadways where you are likely to encounter wildlife. Mapbooks, GPS Maps, the Backroad Navigator app and our BRMB Canada Web Map include written descriptions of wildlife viewing and birdwatching areas complete with information on wildlife species, the best times to see them, access, contact information and more. For digital products, these wildlife viewing and birding areas are georeferenced and searchable, while our Mapbooks contain an easy-to-use Adventure index to help you find the exact wildlife viewing area you are looking for.
