Ellis Nature Centre is an education & research facility at the heart of a sustainable farm. We demonstrate and promote best practices to conserve and protect wildlife and nature through our workshops, educational programs, and events. Located on the original 1906 farmstead of the Ellis Family, Ellis Nature Centre is a non-profit organization established to continue Charlie Ellis’s conservation farming vision. Our wildlife research focuses on Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, and other native cavity-nesting birds.
The '''Ellis Bird Farm''' consists of a [[grain elevator]] built in 1937 and is the oldest standing ''"seed elevator"'' in Alberta. As well as a [[Tea House]], self-guided trails, demonstration wildlife gardens, a picnic area, bird banding tours and the "World's Largest" collection of functional bluebird nestboxes.
