Are you excited about community science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 16. \nBring warm clothes\, binoculars\, a camera (if you have one)\, and snacks (we will provide lunch). Please also bring what you feel you need to hike winter trails (snow pants\, hiking poles\, etc.) \nHere’s what Birds Canada has to say about their Christmas Bird Count:  \nStarted in 1900\, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation. \n\n\nRVSP HEREPlease RSVP by clicking on the button above.\nIf you have questions please contact us here for more info×Contact Us \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nYour Name\n\n\nYour Email\n\n\nYour Subject\n\n\nYour Message\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for ARMB's monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\n\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n \n \n \n Close\n×RSVP Here\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n \n Sorry\, this form is not available. \n \n \n \n \n\nClose URL:https://arocha.ca/event/christmas-bird-count-east-braintree-mb-2/ LOCATION:Boreal Ecology Centre\, A Rocha Boreal Ecology Centre\, East Braintree\, Manitoba\, Canada CATEGORIES:Boreal Ecology Centre,Manitoba,MB Conservation,MB Special Events,MB Volunteer Days,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/TIMC4535.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231202T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231202T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T165122 CREATED:20231031T235714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231101T224458Z UID:44530-1701522000-1701532800@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Christmas Open House (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Christmas with the merry A Rocha community! \nEnjoy caroling by the fireplace in our cozy heritage guest house with a hot chocolate in hand.
