Get a Bird's eye view at Mountsberg

Thanks to our donors, we have a new viewing tower that looks out over the reservoir.  It's a great spot to see waterfowl on the reservoir and look out over the park.

Thanks to donor support we've created a new, simulated archaeology dig at Crawford Lake.  Using authentic tools, high school students will mark out a grid, dig for authentic artifacts originally found at Crawford Lake, sift the dirt to find small items, and map their finds.

This is a great program addition suited to older students and teenagers.

New Home for Hawks (& Owls Too!)

Thanks to our generous donors, a new enclosure for our birds of prey is being built.  It provides space for 5 birds such as Octavius, Teddy,and others- and gives them lots of room to move around and fly. 

These birds continue to help us teach thousands of people every year about Ontario's birds of prey and species at risk. 

Thanks to a grant received by the Conservation Halton Foundation, 4,500 students can participate in a free Species at Risk (SAR) education program.  Entitiled SOARING- Studying Ontario's At Risk Raptors, this interactive program will teach students and community members to identify species at risk and about how they can protect SAR species habitats in the community and on their land.    

Cornelius the Bald Eagle, Shale the Peregrine Falcon, and Gwen the Barn Owl from the Raptor Centre will give kids a close up and compelling view of these beautiful and at risk species. 

What Difference does a Watt Make?

Thanks to a grant provided to the Conservation Halton Foundation, 3,500 local Grade 6 students will find out!

By participating in our new "Watt's the Difference" renewable energy education program, students will learn about energy use, see small-scale wind and solar electric energy systems up close, and learn what they can do to reduce energy use in their school and home.
