Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary is managed by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission and has an active "Friends of the Sanctuary" who run events and important bird studies and habitat rehabilitation initiatives.
The Sanctuary is 9,000 hectares of managed wooded uplands, goose pasture, crop land, waterways, and marshlands along the shore of Lake St. Lawrence River. It was opened in 1961.
The St. Lawrence River/Great Lakes Basin is one of the most populated and industrial areas in Canada. Within this area the Sanctuary has been attempting to create an awareness of the natural environment and habitat that surrounds us and why every plant and animal is an integral part of our planet. The Sanctuary's attempt to educate never ends, whatever the time of day or season of year, because people are continually visiting it. This makes every program or event, in its own way, vitally important.
