Facilities
Conservation Area FactsHoliday Beach and Big Creek Conservation Areas received international recognition in 2000 as a globally significant Important Bird Area (IBA), joining BirdLife International's global network of IBA sites. This program is part of Natural Legacy 2000, which the Government of Canada is supporting through the Canada Millennium Partnership Program (CMPP). The designation is as a result of the significance of the area for raptor migration and as a known breeding area for Prothonotary Warblers (a nationally endangered species). ERCA in partnership with the Canadian Nature Federation, Bird Studies Canada, and the Federation of Ontario Naturalists will continue to work with landowners in the IBA to ensure that bird populations remain healthy into the next millennium.
