Land Preservation is for the Birds!  Support the WVLT Big Day Bird Count!

How many bird species will the Wallkill Valley Land Trust Birdsearch team find on WVLT easement properties during the 2012 Ulster County Big Day Count? Our team of experienced birders will count bird species on properties protected by Wallkill Valley Land Trust conservation easements as part of this annual event.  Support WVLT by pledging 25¢, 50¢ or $1.00 per species on WVLT protected properties. 

All of the donations pledged will go to the WVLT Stewardship Fund.

Contact Lynn Bowdery with your pledge at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  or 845-255-6690.

By the end of May: check the WVLT website, www.wallkillvalleylt.org, for the list of species found and the total, multiply by your pledge, and send your donation to Wallkill Valley Land Trust, P.O. Box 208, New Paltz, NY 12561.

Last year our team found 93 bird species. Preserving land supports bird diversity!

Palm Warbler (L) and Eastern Bluebird (R).
