Just want to personally thank everyone who responded to my plea for help in organizing my first Big Night here on Long Island NY!
I have a local boy scout troop ready to pounce at a moments notice, the local police precinct has offered to send an officer to slow traffic, and about 8 more volunteers willing to help if they are free.
Mostly I am excited to say I have a neighborhood meeting to inform all the local residents about what we are doing on Sunday March 13. I'll see if my laptop will work as a screen to show a powerpoint that I've prepared but mostly I just want to speak with everyone, answer questions, and enlist help in the future. After all, it is THEIR vernal pond and they are key to future protection of the pond and its critters.
And lastly, with that little bit of rain we had last night...we had 2 wood frogs and a TIGER SALAMANDER cross into the pond. I suspect the rain storm slated for Thursday night will bring the majority of frogs and sallies into the pond...a few days BEFORE my big neighborhood meeting....oh well, at least I already have enough volunteers to help me anyhow but it would have nice to include the locals on Thursday night as well.
