The Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society
At once tranquil and exhilarating, birding here is supported by SABNES — which promotes environmental awareness and protects and enhances the natural habitats of Salmon Arm Bay. Alongside preserving access to precious urban wetlands for school groups and nature enthusiasts of all ages, SABNES manages and operates the interpretive facilities at Marine Peace Park for scientific, educational, and public viewing.
