“Creator Network Empowers Young Storytellers for CBC”

Featured in:

CBC Saskatchewan’s Creator Network provides a platform for young digital storytellers from diverse backgrounds to create original video content for CBC, showcasing stories from their unique perspectives. The Mary Houston Bluebird Trail is an annual citizen science initiative near Saskatoon, spanning 80 kilometers from Langham to Hanley. Nest boxes are placed every 400 meters along the trail, serving as essential habitat for migrating birds monitored by volunteers. Greg Fenty, a biologist and retired environmental educator, leads the project, aiming to track the productivity and survivorship of bluebirds and tree swallows, contributing to long-term population research. Bluebird populations faced declines in the past, but conservation efforts have helped them recover. Volunteers, including families and children, participate in monitoring activities, learning to identify bird species and observe their life cycles. The project not only fosters a connection to nature but also provides valuable learning experiences for participants. Pi Srithammawut, a recent Canadian resident, joined the project with his son to explore their new environment. Similarly, Betty McBride enjoys the educational aspect of the trail with her grandchildren, emphasizing the enriching impact on their lives. Many volunteers, like Maycie McWillie, have been inspired by their experiences on the trail to pursue careers in biology or conservation. The project also involves building new bird boxes and monitoring bird populations, combining outdoor fun with educational opportunities. Through this initiative, participants engage in hands-on wildlife research and contribute to biodiversity conservation efforts.
