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.

We contribute to bird populations that are resilient and robust, and a natural world that is sustainable for future generations

We’re a volunteer-run charity, with an active bird migration monitoring station since 1995. We’re members of the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network and caretakers for the globally significant Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird Area.
