This event is part of a wider initiative to converse aerial insectivore species, with a focus on tree swallow monitoring and banding on PEI.
We are PEI Watershed Groups working in collaboration with experts to help conserve declining aerial insectivores.
-Monitoring and banding tree swallows Island-wide.
-Providing safe nesting habitat for declining aerial insectivore species.
