Field Trip – Long Wharf Nature Preserve and Urban Oasis – Deborah Johnson
August 25, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Our second annual trip to this evolving and ever-improving site in the heart of downtown New Haven. An environmentally focused, family-friendly morning learning about the Urban Oases projects in the New Haven Harbor Watershed. A one-mile walk along the harbor shoreline and three separate ecosystems as the ground rises from sea level. NHBC Conservation Chair joins with Audubon’s Bird Conservation Program Associate Genevieve Nuttall. Local artist Zoe Matthiessen shares her Ecocide paintings of birds and other animals in pollution distress. We will enter our bird observations in Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird database and show how it is done.
Meet at 9 AM at entrance to the Preserve. Off-street parking available in the lot on Long Wharf Drive across from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park.
