Through Bird Studies Canada's Marsh Monitoring Program (MMP), volunteer Citizen Scientists in many parts of Canada survey marsh bird populations and report their valuable observations to us. In some regions, they also collect important information about frogs.

This year we are delighted to announce the first Citizen Science survey season for the Maritimes MMP. It's also the 12th MMP season in Québec, and the 21st for the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and Ontario. Volunteers are needed across the Maritimes (contact Holly Lightfoot: hlightfoot@birdscanada.org) and to fill survey gaps in Québec (contact Andrew Coughlan: acoughlan@birdscanada.org) and around the Great Lakes.

For more information about the Great Lakes MMP, contact Kathy Jones (volunteer@birdscanada.org). You can also check out assigned and available Great Lakes MMP routes on our online map, and please consider completing this form regarding a proposed Great Lakes MMP webinar.
