The CWoR is happy to once again be flying transport flights in support of the amazing work our friends do at the Owl Foundation
The Owl Foundation is a registered Canadian charitable organization that helps wild Canadian owls and other raptors that are injured or orphaned. The Foundation operates a rehabilitation centre located in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada and help owls as well as other raptors that are injured, diseased or starving, to get back to a condition where they can survive on their own and can be released.

I would like to fly this. I am available throughout.
I'm happy to help with this trip. What dates are you looking at ideally? I could ideally fly as the second leg of a relay from Burlington to North Bay, North Bay to Moosanee/Cochrane. Alternatively and if needed I could complete an entire flight myself from Burlington all the way to Moosanee or Cochrane.
@gerd.wengler THANK YOU! Gerd ... this is amazing!

@greg.campbell THANKS also Greg for this amazing offer and interest. We will continue to get details and discuss with Gerd who we understand has flown numerous owl release flights for this Foundation in recent years, so a wealth of information and experience to be leveraged on such special 'passengers'. We'll stay in touch to firm up plans Thanks again!
