How we make a difference

FAIBS hold a community activity day each month within the Sanctuary, welcoming volunteers of all ages and experience levels.

During the winter months, when many migratory birds are in the northern hemisphere, activities focus on caring for and restoring habitat. These include weed control, clean-up days, trail maintenance, revegetation, monitoring, education, and cultural events.

In the summer months, when migratory shorebirds return, we shift our focus to bird identification and monitoring, holding events on the shoreline. We provide scopes and binoculars and assistance with spotting and identification.

Throughout the year, we also host special events including presentations from ecologists and other experts. This year, being our 10th year, we are planning many extra events including a forum in October, so sign up to receive our event emails.
