Wish we had something like this nearby. All of our public sanctuaries are in the more rugged mountainous parts of the state, several hours away. There are a couple that are closer, but they are not normally open to the public.
 
yes, we're lucky to have these marshlands in the Fraser river delta... In winter it's a hotspot for a lot of migratory birds...

The rugged mountainous areas around here are unfortunately much less accessible than further south in the Cascades (and the few spots that are, are very crowded as a result) - but we have a lot of nice parks throughout the lower mainland to make up for it somewhat... :)
