🐰 Invasive Rabbits in Vancouver Parks

In Vancouver parks like Jericho Beach, populations of invasive European rabbits—descendants of abandoned pets—have become common. While adorable, these rabbits pose serious health and ecological risks. Remember:

❌ Don’t release: Abandoning pets harms animals and ecosystems. 🙅 Don’t touch: Rabbits carry parasites like ticks that transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease. 🚫 Don’t feed: Feeding wildlife attracts predators and pests, spreads disease, and is prohibited (up to $500 fine).

🌿 Give wildlife space: Enjoy observing animals from a safe, respectful distance.

A leisurely 20-minute stroll from the UBC Rose Garden leads you to the serene Spanish Banks West area. From March onwards, the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking, with the setting sun casting a warm glow over the water and reflecting off Downtown Vancouver's skyline. 🌇

Spanish Banks West is a beloved beach area, perfect for picnics, beachcombing, and enjoying panoramic views of the ocean and cityscape. 🏖️​

As the sun sets, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates both locals and visitors alike. 🌅​
