Surrey Nature Centre, nestled beside Green Timbers Urban Forest, is a dynamic place where kids and adults can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Surrey. Whether it's through guided walks, interactive exhibits, or engaging programs, the centre offers a wealth of opportunities to explore and connect with nature.

• Interpretive Space: The interpretive space at Surrey Nature Centre offers a unique opportunity to discover the rich biodiversity of Green Timbers Park. The spring nature exhibit features sections on food webs, tools, and techniques biologists use to measure biodiversity, along with a variety of natural items that visitors can examine and touch.
• Early Years Programs: For families with young children, the centre provides several early years programs designed to introduce preschool-aged kids to the wonders of nature. Programs are available for different age groups, including 0-18 months, 18-36 months, and 3-6 years. Additionally, the Nature Wonders program is perfect for preschool classes looking to go on a nature-themed field trip.
• Guided Nature Walks: Join a team member for a guided nature walk through Green Timbers Park. These walks are designed for all ages and run rain or shine. Participants will explore various aspects of the park, from its flora and fauna to its history and ecological significance.

Groups of all ages can participate in tailored guided walks or programs to deepen their connection to nature and Green Timbers Park. These walks can be customized to the group's interests, whether it's birds, trees, local plants, or another natural topic.

The Surrey Nature Centre  also offers in-person school programs that complement classroom teaching. Teachers can also borrow activity kits filled with materials, games, and lesson ideas to enhance their nature curriculum. Self-led field trips are welcome, but it's advisable to call ahead to avoid scheduling conflicts with centre activities.
