Sharing Together an Awareness of Nature and Heritage in Gatinenau Park, an exceptional park.

We are a volunteer group drawn from all walks of life, devoted to the preservation and advancement of the Aviary and the care and breeding of its birds. Since our start in 1992 we have gone on to become a registered charity in 2000.

Our priorities are to: 1) Protect the watershed by encouraging a community, ecosystem and watershed approach to environmental planning and protection; 2) Educate the public through nature walks, school field trips, presentations and community events to encourage environmental awareness, ethics and action; 3) Restore the watershed by training thousands of youth and community volunteers to restore forest, wetland and meadow habitat; 4) Monitor restoration work by performing follow-up watering, mulching and maintenance. We form productive conservation partnerships with schools, community groups, religious organizations, businesses, landowners, municipalities, government agencies, community leaders, foundations and environmental groups.
