​A DAY OF CELEBRATIONS at EBF

Blue Feather Awards: Each year, Ellis Bird Farm honours Albertans who have been exemplary in their efforts to conserve bluebirds and other native cavity-nesting birds. This year, two bluebirders were recognized, Clarke Snell of Hanna (left) and Bill Taylor of Calgary. We will post more details about their accomplishments shortly. ​

Opening of the Dow Bridge: Thanks to a Community Grant from Dow and the talents of Wayne Froese (Top Peg Timber Framing) and Jonathan Beekman (Full Circle Plastics), Ellis Bird Farm has a new beautiful bridge. The bridge, featuring post-consumer recycled plastic and repurposed wood (from downed poplars), is a work of art.  We are grateful to everyone who has been involved in this project! ​

Cutting the ribbon to officially open the bridge was Catherine Costin, Operations Director for Dow's Alberta sites and Vice-president of Dow Chemical Canada ULC). After the ribbon cutting, she posed at the bridge with Wayne Froese and Jonathan Beekman
