Long Point Waterfowl has played an enormously
spacer important role in preserving and protecting the wetlands of Long Point, an area known around North America for both its pristine condition and sustaining role in the waterfowl population  of the continent. I am proud to be a friend and supporter of Long Point Waterfowl and congratulate them on their efforts to not only protect, but to enhance Ontario’s wetland habitats through their various research, education and conservation initiatives.

spacer Long Point Waterfowl’s Youth Hunting and Conservation Course is a great opportunity that allows hunter education instructors, conservation organizations, the hunting industry and volunteers to work toward one common goal: introducing youth to the outdoors. The workshop covers different topics about wildlife management, ecology and habitat, and hunting skills. Long Point Waterfowl makes a tremendous effort to organize this workshop, and I hope this idea spreads out across the province.

The Long Point Waterfowlers’ Association is a small Non-Government Organization that has had a big impact on the Long Point Crown Marsh, one of the most important Great Lakes’ coastal marshes. This would not have occurred without the strong partnership between the Long Point Waterfowlers’ Association and Long Point Waterfowl. Long Point Waterfowl has provided the ongoing science-based validation for the remedial works being carried out in the marsh. Long Point Waterfowl’s validation has facilitated fund-raising as well as providing adaptive management direction. The Long Point
spacer Waterfowl has also strongly supported all aspects of the Long Point Waterfowlers’ Association youth and new hunter recruitment initiatives.

I have collaborated with the senior scientists and students of Long Point Waterfowl for many years. In fact, I have worked with Long Point Waterfowl long enough to see some students become senior scientists! Long Point Waterfowl’s role in developing the next generation of
spacer Waterfowl Biologists in Canada is legendary. The inspiring geographic and ecological context is only part of the story. The real secret is the community of scientists from government, Non-Government Organization’s and academia who work together doing research that matters and will have lasting impact.

Dear Dr. Petrie,
I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to submit the references for both the University of Western Ontario and the University of Toronto masters programs I applied to.  I am very happy to report that I have been offered admission to both programs, and have decided to pursue the Master of Environmental Science at the University of Toronto.  This program will help me to attain my career goals, and will allow me to make a difference in the protection of our natural environments for a sustainable future.  Your recommendation means a
spacer lot to me, and I couldn’t have made it without your support.  The principles I learned in your wildlife management class certainly played an important role in my decision to pursue environmental science, and so I want to thank you for that as well.
If you are hunting turkey this season, I would like to wish you the best of luck!

Regards,
Matthew
