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. Select this link to learn more. Schools interested in 
participating should contact Carolin Grandin at Midpoint International 
Inc., at 1-888-646-4246 or carolin.grandin@midpoint-int.com.
