The PIBO Steward Program at the Pelee Island Bird Observatory brings novice and experts birders together on Pelee to enjoy the incredible spring and fall migrations. Our paying stewards can make the most of a weekend getaway spending some peaceful time at our unique and remote location. They will have the opportunity to learn more about PIBO’s work and migration monitoring, while knowing they are helping to support the legacy of bird conservation on Pelee Island.
