May 8, 2026: Bats over the Berm
8:15 pm, Lower Parking Lot
Did you know that you can “listen” to bats as they fly around you in the evening while they are hunting for insects over the marsh in Sargeant Bay? Dr. Michelle Evelyn of the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project will show how bat researchers can listen to bat signals with digital technology and bring their high frequency calls down to a level that humans can hear – and see displayed visually on a tablet.
May 14, 2026: Spring Berm and Beach Clean Up
9:00 – 11:00 am
Come out and join us for the annual Sargeant Bay Provincial Park spring berm and beach cleanup. Each year volunteers clear debris from the beach as well as extra brush and debris from the upper berm. This improves access and enjoyment of both the upper berm and the beach at Sargeant Bay. Please bring along your garden gloves, rakes and clippers. We will have some on-hand as well. Good footwear is recommended.

May 23, 2026: Birding on the Berm

July 14, 2026: Intertidal Beach Exploration
VERY LOW TIDE starting at 11:00 am
Join LeeAnn Ennis and SBS crew in another beach exploration event at a super low tide of -0.7’ at 12 noon. This event will be hosted at the lowest tide in decades, so the possibilities of new and exciting findings are high. Bring the kids, grandkids, grandparents etc, along with a beach pail, sunscreen, and beach shovel if you have one – if not we will have some on hand. There will be wet tanks to display your findings before returning them to their natural environment.
