This talk will focus on the Osprey Outage Mitigation Program, which aims to provide safe nesting sites for osprey while increasing service reliability for electric customers throughout New York State. The program proactively installs nest boxes and fiberglass risers on utility poles and relocates new nests from hazardous locations on electric wires to safer boxes during the designated off-season. Osprey, a magnificent species cherished by the birding community throughout New York State, benefit greatly from this initiative.

Come one, come all to the Frog and Toad Jumping Contests! Feisty frogs and terrific toads will compete in these fun-filled, family-friendly events. All ages are welcome, including adults! Come to compete, or cheer on your favorite contestant. All frogs and toads MUST be collected at the park on the day of the event and must be released at the site of capture when finished competing. You may NOT bring a frog/toad from home or any other location.
If you have a net and container, be sure to bring these along as we have limited containers available.
Three sessions will be held at Nathaniel Cole Park on Friday 8/8. The first hour of each session we will use our nets and containers to catch our frogs, and the last half hour of the session will be the contest.
Registrations are highly encouraged but walk-ins will be welcome at the parks. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please register all members of your group separately.
