Exciting news! Great Support from Canadian Ornithological Community!
We are thrilled to announce that ‘Come Walk With Us’
has been awarded its second grant from the James L. Baillie
Memorial Fund!!! Established in 1976, in honour of Mr. James Baillie,
an Assistant Curator in the Ornithology Department at the Royal Ontario Museum
who devoted his life to the study of birds for almost half a century. The
focus of the Baillie Fund is to support amateur ornithological research as well
as individuals and organizations that increase the understanding, appreciation,
conservation and protection of Canadian birds in their natural environment.
This award reflects the type of support we have
received from the Canadian Ornithological community and bird lovers across the
nation! We are deeply honoured to have
been considered for and received this grant!
Mr. Baillie's enthusiasm and knowledge have inspired
hundreds of naturalists to pursue the study of birds and their conservation for
years. We hope that in continuing our 24,000
km trek across Canada along The Great Trail geared towards expanding diversity
in outdoor activities and striving to inspire youth to connect with nature
through birding by focusing on their online time by becoming active Citizen
Sciences will continue Mr. Baillie’s legacy and passion for ornithology by
inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards!
