EE TT Es, Fall Bird Ball - Continued from page 1 "Birds are very sensitive to environmental condi- tions," Kellough explains. "Changes in abundance or di- versity can serve as early warning signals of larger prob- lems. It's like putting your finger on the pulse of the planet." This spring the Observatory, which is a non-profit charitable organization, made headlines when it received a large grant from the Trillium Foundation. "The Trillium funding enabled the observatory to re- solve two important matters," says PEPtBO Project Coor- dinator Brian Joyce. "First was renovating an old cottage to meet proper living conditions for long term volunteers and staff. The building lacked electricity as hydro doesn't run that far down the point. This is now being produced through solar power. We drilled a well and installed a septic system so we could add a bathroom and kitchen fa- cilities. The grant also allowed us to hire a full-time ban- der, hire an administrator/resource developer and start de- veloping educational outreach programs, like bringing lo- cal schoolchildren out to the Point to experience the valu- able natural resource that exists right in their own back- yard." f Continued on page 6 Quality Landscaping NATURAL STONE WORK - FLAG STONE INTERLOCKING BRICK - RETAINING WALLS WATER FALLS & PONDS GARDEN DESIGN & PLANTING DECKS / FENCES - PROPERTY MAINTENANCE Jason Morris, Proprietor Box 37.
