Giving Tuesday

This year's Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, 2024! Beaverhill Bird Observatory is participating this year to expand our research and education. At the Beaverhill Bird Observatory, we're on a mission to provide unforgettable experiences, foster deep appreciation, and tirelessly conserve our precious environment. In 2025 we will talk to thousands of school children about birds, conservation and climate change. During the field season we will be tagging 20 Long-eared Owls and 50 Purple Martins to learn more about their migrations and survival. Every dollar you give on this Giving Tuesday helps us protect our feathered friends and the ecosystems they call home.

Your donations will help support our bird conservation and education programs, and every little bit helps! 

You can help us get a head start by donating now!

BirdSmart Education

During the winter months, the BBO operates an education outreach program called BirdSmart Education. Our staff give in-presentations with a live bird of prey to all grade levels (pre-k to 12) that are tailored to match the Alberta Curriculum and focus on birds, conservation and climate change. Presentations are also available to afterschool groups, seniors homes, birthday parties and more! Book your presentation today to meet a live bird of prey and learn about the natural world. 

Endowment Fund

The BBO has established an Endowment Fund to help secure future research efforts!

As a non-profit, BBO relies on grants, donations and fundraising to continue the work we do, none of which can be counted on from year to year. By creating this Endowment Fund with the Edmonton Community Foundation, we intend to eventually provide lifelong support to our organization, allowing us to continue our valuable conservation work without fear of interruption.
