PCA TV

Special Edition Videos
Birder's Roundtable

The Pollinator Conservation Association has worked during the Corvid-19 Pandemic to keep our communities connected through video discussions, meetings, and presentations. We have worked with a number of partners and individuals to keep us connected about important conservation issues. This page is an archive of some of those video connections.

There are lots of conservation stories that we need to keep connected to.

Birds On The Niagara Television

One of the PCA's partnership projects has been the establishment and management of the Birds on the Niagara Winter Celebration of Birds. Why, you might be asking, is the PCA involved with birds? The answer is quite simple. While we do look at conservation and ecology through the lens of pollinators, we recognize that we are in a wholistic world and we must continue to connect the dots. Our organization works daily to connect the dots to encourage all conservation strategies and to help to lift all boats. In February of 2020 (Valentine's Day Weekend) we co-hosted the 2nd Annual Festival. and this year it was an International Festival, which is unique among North American Bird Festivals. We have created a lot of great videos for this project, which you can find by CLICKING HERE
