Wildlife Day provides a perfect opportunity to participate in wildlife conservation service projects and educational workshops across the state, celebrating New York's diverse wildlife and habitats. The event, hosted in partnership with Parks and Trails New York, and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, is part of the “Love Our New York Lands Stewardship Days Campaign,” an effort to encourage year-round stewardship and highlight the state’s outdoor recreation assets by offering a series of themed stewardship days throughout the year.
Participant registration is currently open for Wildlife Day. New Yorkers are encouraged to join their community in a cleanup, enhancement, or educational event near them.
Birding walks and talks will be offered at 9 and 10 a.m., 1 and 4 p.m., at Reinstein Woods EEC, 93 Honorine Drive, Depew. For more, call the Reinstein Woods Center at 716-683-5959.
