2025 Annual Report
For over 30 years, the LSLBO has strived to learn more about the migratory and breeding birds at Lesser Slave Lake. Check out our latest Annual Report to see what we accomplished this season. It was a lot! Thank you to our dedicated field staff (Robyn Perkins, Bronwyn Robinson, Andy Nguyen) plus all of our wonderful volunteers for delivering another successful season.
The LSLBO also supports the year-round education and outreach programs that happen at the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation. Check out our 2024-2025 BCBC Annual Report for just some of the highlights from the past year.
