Help Save Some Habitat

By Corey • May 11, 2008 • 3 comments

If you are a New Yorker join the walking tour of the Ridgewood Reservoir, Brooklyn, on Thursday, May 15, at 11 AM with Assemblyman Darryl Towns. Local folks (and birders) want “to prevent the Parks Department from destroying the historical integrity of the reservoir, to preserve the natural landscape of the area, establish a interpretive nature center and to rehabilitate and improve the active sporting areas of Highland Park.” You can take a first step to help save the natural value of the area by meeting in the parking lot on Vermont Place between Cypress Avenue and Highland Blvd on Thursday. RSVP to dquintana1 AT nyc.rr.com.

Corey

Corey is a lifelong upstate New Yorker who recently took the plunge and moved to the city. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list and broke the magical 300 barrier in New York State in 2007 by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative. He lives near Forest Park in Queens with Daisy and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B.

Well, mon@rch, you wouldn’t actually be joining me, as I have to be at work!
