From Highway 401 or Highway 3, come south on Highway 59 to the north shore of Lake Erie. BSC's National Headquarters is situated at 115 Front St. in Port Rowan. From Highway 59 south, turn east on Regional Rd 42 (Front St) and drive 400 metres to our building on the south side of the road. LPBO's Old Cut Field Station is on Old Cut Blvd. on Long Point, just two streets before Highway 59 ends at Long Point Provincial Park. We are the 6th building on the right as you head north on Old Cut Blvd. from Highway 59. There is a small sign on the front lawn. You can park across the road in the Ministry of Natural Resources boat launch parking lot. We're open to the public during spring and fall migration (from April to mid June and early August to mid November, respectively). The best time to come for a visit is in the morning, since the bird banding program winds up around noon. It's a good idea to call in advance (519-586-2885).
