The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program
The Manitoba Burrowing Owl Recovery Program (MBORP) was founded by Alex Froese in 2013. The program is a non-profit, on-the-ground conservation program addressing the ongoing decline of endangered burrowing owls in southwestern Manitoba. MBORP is working towards recovery for the species through field and educational activities like reintroduction, surveys and monitoring, habitat enhancement and education.

Burrowing owls are like no other owl!
They are unable to dig their own burrows and rely on digging animals like badgers, foxes, and ground squirrels to do so for them. They are unable to nest without a burrow. So how do we help?

How can you get involved?
We are always looking for help annually to help dig burrows to install artificial nest burrows (spring and fall), and help with surveys to locate wild owls in southwest Manitoba. If you are interested in being a volunteer please contact us for more information!
