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.

LPBLT was established in 1996 to protect and restore lands with significant ecological and cultural heritage qualities in the greater Long Point area, including Norfolk County, western Haldimand and eastern Elgin Counties, and parts of Brant and Oxford. The Trust focuses its efforts in one of the richest areas for biodiversity in Canada. Despite being a relatively densely populated and developed region, there remains enough habitat in this southern Great Lakes area to support populations of many significant species. The central Carolinian Region is internationally significant because of the species and habitats which occur (many rare or at risk); in addition, the Lake Erie drainage provides important water resource for communities in Canada and the United States. Long Point Basin Land Trust owns several nature reserve properties and leads a major multi-year effort to protect and recover reptile populations. LPBLT has recently launched a campaign to secure its fourth nature reserve.

The Friends have developed programs to help foster community involvement, educate the public about the wonders of the Park and the natural world, and to protect this precious resource. Our programs encourage people to respect the Park and take responsibility for its well-being. We encourage people to enjoy the Park through recreational activities, and provide ways for the community to contribute to an area that means so much to them. Throughout the year we have special one-day events for people to enjoy. Last year, due to the flooding, we had over 750 people pitch in to help out. Our annual events include: Purge-the-Spurge Volunteers help “weed out” leafy spurge, a nasty invasive weed, at this one of a kind event. Tackle-the-Tansy and Battle-the-Burdock are new programs that the Friends are initiating this year. Invasive plants are becoming an increasing problem within the Park, squeezing out native vegetation and wildlife, and reducing biodiversity.
