Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory (PEPtBO) is a conservation organization that studies, monitors, and reports on the migration, breeding patterns and ecosystems of birds throughout Prince Edward County. Our work protects birds and their habitat through research, advocacy, and education. 

Our bird observatory is located in a Key Biodiversity Area and in the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Refuge. Each spring we band thousands of birds and welcome hundreds of visitors. PEPtBO’s annual Spring Birding Festival attracts hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate birds and to learn more about ongoing research and conservation efforts. 

As a sponsor of the Spring Birding Festival (May 10-12, 2024), you will be contributing to our most important fundraising activity of the year. This incredibly popular event draws from across Ontario, Quebec and the Eastern USA. These visitors, in turn, support local accommodations, eateries, wineries and other businesses in Prince Edward County. You will be supporting people of all ages and abilities to experience the natural beauty of Prince Edward Point’s unique ecology and diverse bird-life. 

In return for sponsorship, we will recognize your business in all marketing materials and event promotion, as well as in post-event communications. Please review our sponsorship categories below in order to select the option that works best for you. A PEPtBO representative will be more than happy to speak with you about the potential impact of sponsorship on this special community event.
