Over the Rainbow (OTR): Lunch & Learn with Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program

The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program (MBORP) is non-profit, on-the-ground conservation program addressing the ongoing decline of endangered burrowing owls in southwestern Manitoba. The program is working towards recovery for the species through field and educational activities like reintroduction, surveys and monitoring, habitat enhancement and education. MBORP is working to recover the species through reintroductions, surveys and monitoring of wild owls and nests and habitat improvement through the installation of artificial nest burrows. Annually, throughout the breeding season (May-August) MBORP works with select private landowners to reintroduce burrowing owl pairs and young. They also engage landowners (cattle farmers) in burrowing owl conservation through the installation of artificial nest burrow installations. On Friday, October 23rd, we are thrilled to be joined by an MBORP educator and ambassador, Bindi the Burrowing Owl! This Lunch and Learn will provide an opportunity to learn about these beautiful and endangered birds, the land we live on, and how we can all be a part of conservation and the protection of Manitoba flora and fauna. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees while the presentation is underway.
