COVID-19 Update
The Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation is currently closed to the public due to MOH health restrictions. Nature centres will be part of Step 3 for reopening, so stay tuned for updates.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the LSLBO Banding Station will be closed to the public again this spring to ensure that we keep everyone safe. We are hoping to be able to open the station to small group tours later this summer if restrictions are lifted.
Our Annual 26th Annual Songbird Festival will also look different this year. We are still working on the schedule, but there will be some virtual workshops, self directed activities and hopefully some small group programs.

Despite all the challenges of operating the station during a global pandemic, the staff at the LSLBO completed one of our busiest field season’s ever at the station!
