Of course, the list is longer and we're sure you can think of other associated needs. Suggestions on what we may be overlooking are welcome. Whoops, did I forget money!!! This year we need $115,000 in gift and kind. Approximately $40,000 has been committed under the Federal Provincial Infrastructure Program by the Provincial Government, Macphail Foundation and Macphail Woods prdject. If you can help us out on any of the above or implement a project that could help us reach this goal, please contact Fred Horne at 902—675-4791 (e—mail: burkhorn@isn.net) or Gary Schneider 902-583— 3068 (e—mail: garyschneider®pei.sympatico.ca)

Donations should be made payable to Sir Andrew Macphail Foundation and be sent to Macphail Homestead, Vernon Bridge RRl, Orwell, PEI COA 2E0 along with a memo that it is to be used for the Natural History Centre. ISLAND TEL - is “first past the post” among our potential corporate supporters. We thank Island Tel for donating and we don't mind if you say thank you too, next year is not that far away! The closing of the Bird’s Eye Nature Store was a great loss to naturalists on the Island but owner Tanya Craig’s very generous donation of nature books, shelving displays, feeders and supplies, and office materials gave us a great start!

EAGLE DIETS :
