Marcie Jacklin
Niagara Region, Ontario
More than 30 years ago, Marcie Jacklin was introduced to birdwatching. So began a heartfelt embrace of birds and their conservation. It led to a passionate commitment to protecting and preserving all wildlife and the landscapes they need to thrive. Since then, she has gone on to inspire countless others in Ontario’s Niagara Region and beyond.
Jacklin was a longtime librarian at Brock University and a founding member of the Environmental Sustainability Research Centre there. A tireless and avid citizen scientist, she has participated in countless bird counts and surveys, all while mentoring and inspiring less experienced participants. She has also taken on active leadership roles on the boards of local and regional conservation organizations including the Bert Miller Nature Club, Niagara Falls Nature Club, Peninsula Field Naturalists, Buffalo Ornithological Society and Ontario Field Ornithologists.
As a passionate and informed advocate for nature and its conservation, Jacklin has spearheaded community action in defence of precious natural spaces under threat of development and has played an important role on the Niagara Region’s biodiversity and climate action committee, working to conserve and protect some of the last intact Carolinian forest in the area. Jacklin has co-authored numerous articles and publications. She’s currently the Niagara regional coordinator for the third Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas.
