Announcing our partnership with Lake Michigan Bird Observatory
We have an important update to share with you all. The Friends of Whitefish Point has formed a partnership with Lake Michigan Bird Observatory (LMBO) to act as our financial sponsor. LMBO is a 501(c)3 and has a mission statement very close to our own, putting collaborative research in the Western Great Lakes as a high priority. The Friends of Whitefish Point will act as an independent organization, but with the benefit of having a non-profit sponsor to assist with the admin and financial aspect of things. This means that we are now able to raise funds for the 2025 Whitefish Point Owl Banding program and anything donated will be tax-deductible for our donors.
If you are interested in helping to keep the Whitefish Point Owl Banding going next year, please consider supporting us. We need to raise about $75,000 to cover the cost of the full 2025 year of banding. We are also seeking some in-kind donations, and more help on the ground level of things. You can find all of that at our get involved page: www.friendsofwp.org/get-involved. We appreciate all of your support and know that many of you really care about the owl banding research at Whitefish Point. Lets keep it going!
