Hello everyone

Community Voices of Fort Erie is pleased to announce that our President, Marcie Jacklin, is the 2020 recipient of the R.W. Sheppard Award, presented to her by the Niagara Falls Nature Club.  This honour is given to individuals or groups for their “outstanding and dedicated leadership in the conservation of our natural heritage”. 

A member of both the Niagara Falls Nature Club as well as the Bert Miller Nature Club, Marcie is well known throughout Niagara for her expertise as an avid birdwatcher, naturalist and environmental advocate.  In addition to giving numerous presentations and leading many field outings, she has been a director for both the Buffalo Ornithological Society and the Ontario Field Naturalists. 

Marcie is Chair of the Niagara Birding Conservation and Tourism Collaborative a fledgling organization whose mandate is to promote birdwatching as an economic driver for our region.  She is also one of the organizers of the Birds on the Niagara event, an international festival that takes place during the winter along the Niagara River.  Her passion for the environment and commitment to conserving our natural areas are most deserving of this recognition.  Well done, Marcie, and thank you for all your hard work.
