Here's a notice from Bird Studies Canada. Pass it on to anyone you think might be interested. New Program Engages Students in Nest Monitoring 15 March 2010 – In collaboration with provincial and regional nest records schemes across Canada, Bird Studies Canada engages volunteers in long-term monitoring of nesting activity across Canada through our Project NestWatch program. Participants gather data that helps us follow the health of bird populations, providing valuable information on the state of the wider environment, as birds are good indicators of the health of the habitats and ecosystems in which they live. Project Nest Box is a new initiative that aims to involve school groups in nest monitoring. The program donates six nesting boxes to each interested school, to be installed on the school grounds. The students monitor the boxes throughout the spring and early summer, and report their observations online through Bird Studies Canada’s Project NestWatch website. Project Nest Box – School Nest Watch Program is a not-for-profit collaboration between the Aurora Environmental Advisory Committee Naturalization and Wildlife Working Group; Midpoint International Inc.; Bird Studies Canada; and the Royal Ontario Museum’s Ontario Nest Records Scheme.
