Conservatively Speaking
by Bill & Donna Lenhart

Bird Drawing April 2002

Hello. This month, rather than give you conservation information, we are asking that you supply us with info. As the conservation co-chairs, we are interested in gathering information from our members to get an idea, first, of what types of birders are in the club: are you a novice or a seasoned veteran? Second, we want to know how people use their property to assist the birds. Third, we want to know how our members feel about conservation issues. We will compile the results and publish them in a later issue, so please get your surveys back to us quickly -- our cut-off date will be May 20. From this survey, we hope to see what we should address in future issues, for instance, helping members identify native plant species, which are much more beneficial than exotics.

Please copy the form into an e-mail, complete it, and send it to rickbacker@compuserve.com, or print the form, complete it, and send it via USPS to: Donna and Bill Lenhart, 2122 New Hackensack Road, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603. Thank you for your assistance!
