We're excited about all the developments and community interest at Salt Point this season. We have many new visitors enjoying the area, the north beach vehicle access/parking project is shaping up nicely, and a team from Cargill recently spent a day covering invasive knotweed, planting trees, and moving utility poles. Soon we should see osprey chicks, new Leopold benches, and a carpet of wildflowers along the water's edge. The Town of Lansing Parks & Recreation Department and many volunteers contribute significantly to the improvement of the area, but we still need help to keep Salt Point beautiful and accessible to all (including wildlife!). Please join us Saturday, June 20, 9 a.m. to Noon for Volunteer Day at Salt Point. You're welcome to join us for all or part of the morning. A sample of the tasks we're planning: 1) Trash pick-up and removal 2) Knotweed control 3) Trail maintenance 4) Tree maintenance, incl. trimming & watering 5) Weeding 6) Mulching
We'll set up an organizing area at the DEC parking lot (on the left as you enter Salt Point Rd., just before the railroad tracks). Please bring gardening tools, gloves, buckets, etc. We'll have water and light refreshments. If possible, please email RSVP to our Volunteer Day Coordinator, Katrina Binkewicz, klb1...@hotmail.com<mailto:klb1...@hotmail.com> -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
