| Every winter season, SCCA members and supporters join our friends in the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society and Pender Harbour Wildlife Society for annual Christmas Bird Counts.
“Started in 1900, the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. People in more than 2000 locations throughout the Western Hemisphere participate in the CBC each year.” The data collected by thousands of volunteers across the continent forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The information is used by conservation biologists, environmental planners, and naturalists to assess population trends and distribution of birds. This year the counts will take place between December 14 from Gibsons to Sechelt and December 18 counts in the Pender Harbour area. Join the Christmas Bird Count on the Sunshine Coast on Dec 14! |
