PARTNERS MAKE IT HAPPEN
Bird Studies Canada has a long tradition of working in partnership with private landowners, public and private conservation organizations, and governments at all levels. Recently, 200 private landowners across southern Ontario allowed us access to their lands to study the effects of forest fragmentation on species sensitive to the loss of deep woodland. For nearly 40 years, our studies on Long Point have taken place on land owned by the Long Point Company, Canadian Coast Guard, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Canada. Our study results are made readily available to the public. We work collaboratively with municipal organizations. We have data sharing agreements with provincial and federal government agencies. We work internationally through in-country governments and organizations. Conservation of Canada's wild birds and their habitats is a big job. Only by working collegially with others will we succeed.
Partnerships also underpin the exciting development of a new Headquarters and National Research Centre for Bird Studies Canada. The site was purchased through a legacy from Catherine Smale, a member of the local Norfolk Field Naturalists club, private donations,and additional support from the Ontario Heritage Foundation and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The management plan for the headquarters site was prepared with input from eight government and private conservation organizations. And the actual site restoration activities are being implemented through the combined efforts of our members, and of our partners - the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, Norfolk Field Naturalists, Ontario Hydro, Tree Plan Canada, Shell Environmental Fund, Wildlands League, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Wetland Habitat Fund, British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada, and Long Point Region Conservation Authority.
