HOW YOUR DONATION BENEFITS BURROWING OWLS
Our program is growing each year and so are our costs

FEEDING HUNGRY CHICKS
Our program is growing each year. So are our costs. With more owls we need more food and care for the birds, both for our breeding centres and in the field. Burrowing Owls do best when they are fed mice. You might be surprised to know that each owl can eat 2 mice a day. These cost just under $1.00 each. This year we’ll have over 120 owls to feed at our BC Wildlife Park facility alone. With 3 facilities our food budget for a year is over $200,000!
With more owls raised and released each year our program’s success is growing. Each year more owls return to the breeding ground from migration.
Our goal is that one day there will be enough burrowing owls returning to raise their families in BC grasslands, that they will no longer need our help.

HOUSING BURROWING OWLS
Volunteers assist in the daily chores maintaing the facilities with cleaning, weeding, and general upkeep. If you would to help on the annual working bee we always need volunteers.
Please consider a financial donation so we can purchase equipment and supplies that help provide a safe environment for captive birds.

BUILDING NEW NESTS

EDUCATING FUTURE GENERATIONS
WAYS TO DONATE
Some of our volunteers care for the owls raised in our breeding centres. Many others participate in the annual field trips to release yearling owls and prepare burrows.
Still others spend long hours monitoring the birds in the field after release.
We also have helpers who keep records and organize events.
If you are interested in general volunteering please contact us bocsbc@gmail.com.
None of this would be possible without the support and interest of landowners.
We are extremely grateful for their continued participation.
If you would like to donate land or participate as a partner in our conservation program, please email us bocsbc@gmail.com
However our operation frequently requires new building materials, office supplies, tools, transportation and field equipment.
If you are willing to donate any supplies, equipment, or resources please contact us.
