Hello everyone, The conservation action committee of the Cayuga Bird Club will be working on our habitat improvement project down at Lighthouse Point Woods on Sunday October 15th from about 1pm to 3pm. We will be focused on mapping and monitoring native plants we have put in our fenced plots. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Jody Enck at jodye...@gmail.com.
