About the Exhibition
Backyard Biodiversity invites you to read, write, draw, and discover BC’s nature through the stories and illustrations of BC authors and artists.
Featuring the books and artwork of CWILL BC (Children’s Writers and Illustrators of BC<https://t.e2ma.net/click/t614f/96smdo/5bevwb>) members, this exhibition showcases the biodiversity in our backyards, parks, forests and beaches.

About the Museum
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum<https://t.e2ma.net/click/t614f/96smdo/1wfvwb> strives to inspire an understanding of biodiversity, its origins, and importance to humans through collections-based research, education and outreach. As Vancouver’s natural history museum, we work to promote a greater sense of collective responsibility for the biodiversity of British Columbia, Canada, and the world. The unique combination of world-class research, paired with beautiful, compelling exhibits, strives to make the research conducted at UBC more accessible to the public.

Explore the university’s spectacular biological collections, with 20,000 square feet of exhibits showcasing over 500 permanent exhibits. Among our two million treasured specimens are a 26-metre-long blue whale skeleton suspended in the atrium, the third-largest fish collection in Canada, and myriad fossils, shells, insects, fungi, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and plants from around BC and across the world.
