To protect and preserve these boardwalks for future generations the Friends of the Sanctuary will be launching a 2014 "Get on Board" boardwalk rehabilitation project. With one boardwalk closed due to deterioration and the existing Redwing Trail fast nearing deterioration it is vital to have these replaced to accommodate all visitors now and in the future. As The Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary is so heavily utilized by our surrounding communities and more importantly our school children in these communities it is of great importance we preserve the natural assets of the Sanctuary for future generations. This will be a first of many steps to be taken in the revitalization of the Sanctuary to further increase the popularity of this precious gem on the St. Lawrence River.

Since 1990, the David Suzuki Foundation has worked to find ways for society to live in balance with the natural world that sustains us. Focusing on four program areas – oceans and sustainable fishing, climate change and clean energy, sustainability, and the Nature Challenge - the Foundation uses science and education to promote solutions that conserve nature and help achieve sustainability within a generation.

The mission of The Chelly Foundation is to help bring about positive changes in people's lives (and especially childrens' lives) through literacy, education and other means.

The Foundation’s interactive website, seminars, lectures, books, field experiences and exhibitions supported by a range of media resources create the programs within which we can examine our relationship to the natural environment, its structure and ecosystems, our ethics and responsibilities. Sponsored seminars and exhibitions will make substantial contributions toward heightening a population-wide appreciation of our environment and advancing our individual and collective desire to contribute toward its well being for today and tomorrow.
