The birds make the return journey from the southern United States, Latin America and the Caribban each «prng and are important components of our forest ecosystems. Theirloas may mean a serious increase in forest insect pesta and the inability of many trees or shrub species to spread their seeds. Through the Bning Back the Birds prograin, Conservation International - Canada bas been working.wth stÙdents from Dr. Norman Bethune CI in Scarborough t hLip the birds in nearby L'Amoreaux Park. Continuing with its watershed restoration focua that began in 1990, students are creating an inventer of native trees and éhrubs that are criical for tihe survival' of migratory birds. With funding from Environmental Canada's environmentai partners' fund, Conservation International-Canada has provided technical support and field biologiat Ken Towle. The new baseline survey and inventory of the park and watershed was necessary te find out which birds are currently breeding in that area. With emphasis on biodiversity, watershed restoration, birds and good research tools, students of the environmental class held a tree and shrub planting for songbirds in peril on May 10Oin L'Amoreaux Park. The planting, with support from Canad Trust was one of a series of events relating te cornmunity and schoo initiatives te rehabilitate the upper sections of the western branch of I-ghland Creek. Ecoiogy walks bird surveys, water quality and aquatic species inventories wil l Ïs undertaken bstudents of Bethune, the University of Toronto Scarborough 1olege and University of Toronto landecape architecture during the week.
