Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is a non-profit organization that was established in 1994, to give visitors a first-hand opportunity to see and learn about nature in the North Okanagan.

Located just 5 minutes from downtown Vernon, The Allan Brooks Nature Center with it’s spectacular view of Vernon and the 3 surrounding lakes, is a great place for bird watching. Red tailed and harrier hawks are generally visible from the Centre, while bluebirds, swallows, and meadowlarks are regular visitors.
