What you can do to save Ridgewood Reservoir
About a month ago , I sent out a note about Ridgewood Reservoir coming under review by the NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation for wetland protection. We have a chance as a concerned birding community to save a critical habitat from destruction for sports fields by the NYC Parks department.
NYC Audubon created a form letter ( if letter writing isn't your strong suit) you can use to copy and paste unto a Microsoft word document ( or similar software) and mail. Its that simple. Our appreciation to NYC Audubon for coming up with the form letter.See the link above.
We do need to save this wonderful place on the north Brooklyn border.
Please act today.
