Nestled along the shores of Lesser Slave Lake,
the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation is a
unique research and education facility operated
as a partnership between the Lesser Slave Lake
Bird Observatory and Alberta Parks. Interactive
displays provide an in-depth look at the world
of birds and the boreal forest, while the expert
staff are happy to answer any of your nature
questions. While you are there, you can also
explore Interpretive Trails, check out the gift shop
for local souvenirs and enjoy the family friendly
programs. Whether you are an avid birder
looking for tips on where to find that special bird,
or a nature lover wanting to learn more about
what the Lesser Slave Region has to offer, make
sure to stop in at the centre during your visit.
Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory
A summer visit to the Lesser Slave Lake
Provincial Park isn’t complete without taking the
opportunity to drop in to the Lesser Slave Lake
Bird Observatory to visit the researchers and
learn more about our boreal birds. In addition
to monitoring the breeding and migratory birds
of the region, the LSLBO also provides great
education programs for the public. If you are
lucky, you may even have the chance to see
these beautiful songbirds up close! Contact the
Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation for more
information on tours and education programs.
