GOALS
For nearly four decades now, Bird Studies Canada, formerly known as Long Point Bird Observatory, has marshalled thousands of volunteers for bird studies. Beginning as a simple bird banding station on Long Point, Lake Erie, BSC now conducts local, regional, national and international programs in support of bird conservation. Each year, about 10,000 people make donations in support of our programs and nearly 20,000 volunteers actively participate in our research and education activities. With the help of 17 full-time staff, our supporters and volunteers have made BSC a thriving, dynamic organization known around the world for its well-designed, participatory, effective and enriching conservation programs.
BSC has outgrown its current office facilities. We propose to construct a new, permanent Headquarters and National Research Centre for the organization and to acquire additional habitat, critical for migratory birds, at the base of Long Point. The Headquarters and National Research Centre will provide essential education and research facilities for staff and volunteers, provide flexible meeting areas for supporters, conserve and restore a valuable natural area, and provide public access for visitors wishing to explore the area's natural assets.
