Join Turtleback Conservation Center and the Mattituck Park District in welcoming Osprey back to the North Fork on Sunday, March 23 at noon at Breakwater Beach. We will be cleaning the beach, putting up an Osprey platform, and installing shorebird fencing. Though that may sound like work, we promise this occasion will be fun for the whole family. (It was last year!)
Resident and neighbor Richard Rivera provided delicious sandwiches last year, and has graciously offered to do so again. Please sign up so we can give him an accurate headcount. (He also funded the Osprey platform for the second straight year! Thank you Mr. Rivera!)
We are excited that other organizations will be participating and offering additional activities. The Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association will be leading the beach clean up, with the Atlantic Marine Conservation Center providing pickers and buckets. The Peconic Bay Keeper will be offering a children's activity and information on how people can help the Osprey through their Alewife Project. The Group for the East End will be running an activity and offering information on their significant work documenting the population growth of the Osprey. North Fork Audubon will lead a hands-on children's activity and provide information on their work, and the Children's Garden and PuppetED will each provide a children's craft.
