by Karen Andres

Great South Bay Audubon is proud to announce their participation in the Centennial Celebration of the Connetquot River State Park Preserve. We will have a table set up with information about the Audubon society, take small groups on an introductory bird walk, bird displays and more.

Come join us on Saturday, October 5th from 10-2.

Here are some details on the park if you are interested in adding them to the blurb.

Connetquot River State Park Preserve maintains 3,473 acres of land and water for the protection and propagation of game birds, fish and animals. Deer and waterfowl are numerous, rare nesting birds, including the osprey, are present and there are numerous rare plants, and other interesting flora, such as trailing arbutus and pink lady’s slipper in their natural habitats. The preserve also has 50 miles of hiking, bridle, cross-country ski and nature trails, as well as freshwater fly fishing (by permit only) on the Connetquot River.
