SongBird
was a not-for-profit project, and later a registered society. Support
from foundations, corporations, government and non-governmental
organisations, from individuals and the community made our work
possible. The primary producer of SongBird events from the beginning until 2000, Savage Media played an indespensible role in SongBird's emergence and success and Savage Media's Artistic Director Nelson Gray was co-director of the SongBird project until 2000. A very
special thank-you to
Dr. Val Schaefer and the Institute
of Urban Ecology at Douglas College, to Amir Alibhai and Elizabeth
Kidd at the Roundhouse
Community Centre in Vancouver, and to Gretchen Harlow of the
Canadian
Wildlife Service, who wholeheartedly came on board right at
the beginning of SongBird and worked with us through the 5 years
of the project. Special thanks also go to John Morton of Wild
Birds Unlimited for his consistent support. BELOW
