Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation

The Long Point area, comprising 26,250 hectares, was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in April, 1986, the third to be named in Canada and one of 15 biosphere reserves found in this country today. It provides an example of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem and a unique blend of habitats. Its delicate dunes and marshes teem with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles and frogs. The Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation promotes research, monitoring, community outreach and education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve. We exchange information and work collaboratively with the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and other biosphere reserves in Canada and internationally. Our UNESCO/MAB Biosphere Reserve designation does not bring with it any new authorities over lands, water or resources.

NATIONAL SERVICE DOGS

National Service Dogs pioneered service dog training for children with autism in 1996. Since then NSD has proven that properly trained and certified autism service dogs can: •increase safety levels and alleviate the bolting behaviours common in children with autism by acting as an anchor when tethered to the child •improve a child’s socialization and behavior skills •expand a child’s capabilities to experience more of life and to grow •calm children thereby giving them an increased attention span and a greater aptitude for learning Each child/dog team represents an 8-10 year commitment from NSD and is valued at $30,000. With the support of donors like you we are able to provide autism service dogs at no charge to children in need. In March of 2011 NSD launched a program to provide Skilled Companion Dogs to veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. Please consider lending your support to this new program today!

Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary

Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary was founded in 1998 by dedicated individuals who recognized there was a fundamental need for a safe haven for parrots and other birds who were abused, neglected, abandoned, orphaned or their caregiver could no longer look after their bird due to unforeseen circumstances. Greyhaven is operated solely by volunteers. We have no paid staff. This makes our team of volunteers the most important resource we have. Without dedicated, caring volunteers/directors, Greyhaven would not be able to provide the excellent care and attention our birds deserve.
