Hello Friends! Since late 2013 I've hemmed and hawed about doing a Big Year of birding in celebration of Carolinian Canada's 30th anniversary. I am finally taking the plunge and making the pledge! What's held me back is that for the "30:30" campaign it would be nice to try the extreme challenge of observing 300 species of birds within the Carolinian life zone of Ontario within one 12-month period. With no small amount of birder's luck and the willingness to be "on-call" whenever a rare bird is reported this might be doable, but would involve burning A LOT of carbon and sacrificing a bit too much family and work time.

On April 18, hundreds of people from the London region and beyond gathered at the Western Fair Agriplex for Carolinian Canada's first ever Go Wild Grow Wild Expo. Some even came from as far as Windsor! All came for the promise of an outdoor expo like no other, bringing native plant nurseries, conservation authorities, and educational groups together with ecotourism companies, outdoor activity equipment vendors, and local food producers. If you love the outdoors, then there is something at Go Wild Grow Wild for you!

Hello everyone,

Lots of great birding and nature-watching in Perth County these days...

It was summer of Going Wild for Species at Risk! Two Go Wild Youth Bootcamps were delivered by Carolinian Canada Coalition this past summer.

It's been a busy couple of months with some out-of-country travel, so it's been difficult to keep up with all the great birds being seen around southern Ontario.

On April 2, 2016, over 3000 people explored and learned more about how to GO WILD in Canada’s Deep South.  Within the Western Fair Grounds in London, Ontario, 84 organizations and 30 sponsors from across the region shared with adventurers, nature lovers, gardeners and families how to Get Out
