The Frontenac Biothon was created in 2010 as a critical fundraiser for the Frontenac Bird Studies program. The biothon is unique - a sponsored 24-hour inventory of flora and fauna that raises critical funds for our operations while contributing to science and conservation at the same time!
This year, our dedicated teams of biologists will be searching out and documenting species for 24 hours from June 11-12, 2011 in Frontenac Provincial Park. Our eyes and ears will be tuned for many rare species, including Five-lined Skink, Prairie Warbler and Purple Twayblade to name a few. The information we collect will be valuable to our studies as well as Ontario Parks and the Natural Heritage Information Centre.
