The Northern Spotted Owl is Canada’s most endangered bird, with fewer than 30 individuals remaining in BC. At the Northern Spotted Owl Breeding Centre we are working to keep this iconic West Coast species from being extirpated from Canada. As the only breeding program for the Spotted Owl in the world we are writing the book on captive breeding for this amazing bird. Our long term goals include producing up to 20 offspring per year for release into protected old growth forest around BC.
On Monday, June 27 at 6:30pm we will be holding a fundraiser at the Townhall Pub in Langley. Tickets are $25 each and include a burger (beef, chicken, or veggie), fries, and drink. There will be door prizes, and a silent auction which includes, but is not limited to, gift baskets, passes to local attractions, framed prints, and a couple of PRIVATE tours of the breeding facility.
Tickets can be bought from any one of the NSO Breeding Program team members. We are asking that tickets be bought in advance by making pick up or mailing arrangements. Message or email us for tickets. And please tell your friends!
This is the first time we've done something like this and would really appreciate your support and to help celebrate a successful 2016 breeding season. All funds generated will go towards the building of a website that will help keep people all around the world informed about the plight of the Northern Spotted Owl and the objectives of our program.
For more information, check out the event page on our Facebook Facebook page or email nsobreedingprogram@gmail.com
If you would be able to attend, that would be great! And feel free to invite anyone you think may be interested.
Thank you again,
Jasmine
Captive Breeding Manager
