Annual Bennett Fall Birding Classic Fundraiser

Charlottetown, PEI - The annual Bennett Fall Birding Classic fundraiser will take place Saturday.   Each autumn for the past 22 years, Island Nature Trust and Nature P.E.I. have joined forces in a team event, featuring groups with three- to seven-member teams heading out in the wee hours of the morning to find as many species of birds as possible in one 24-hour period.  This fun marathon count is an opportunity to get involved in bird watching or birding at any level. Strict rules are followed to avoid interfering with bird behavior or causing harm.  Teams will collect pledges based on the number of species they find. All funds raised go to Island Nature Trust’s land acquisition and stewardship work.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
