[DVOC] Conservation Projects / Donations and WSB Pledges

[Bert Filemyr]

A message from Conservation Chairperson Debbie Beer...

 

Now is the time to send in your donations and WSB pledges, to support DVOC's
annual conservation project.  The Nikon/DVOC Lagerhead Shrikes have done
their part, finding 229 species and winning first place in the 2008 World
Series of Birding. 
 
While the thrill of competition may have been the driving factor on the big
day, the ultimate satisfaction comes from raising money to support a local
conservation project.  This year DVOC is thrilled to support the SAW-WHET
OWL BANDING PROJECT on the Kittatiny Mountain Ridge, headed by Scott
Weidensaul and run through the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in
Dauphin County, PA.  The project operates with over 100 volunteers
contributing 6,000 person-hours per year, banding 200-900 Saw-Whets each
season.  Many DVOC members are involved in the Saw-Whet Owl Banding project,
in different capacities.  In addition, WSB money will support a second
ornithological intern at the Academy of Natural Sciences.  Last but not
least, DVOC committed to purchasing mist nets with WSB conservation monies
for banders Tom Bailey and Hannah Struthers.
 
Your donations have a significant, positive impact on these Conservation
projects.  Please be generous, and spread the word to friends and
colleagues.  The WSB "Pledge" form can be downloaded from the DVOC website,
http://www.dvoc.com/WSB/WSB2008/2008WSBPledge.pdf, to accompany donations.
Or make a check payable to "DVOC," and mail to Bert Filemyr, DVOC Treasurer,
1314 Lenore Road, Meadowbrook, PA  19046. Contributions to the DVOC
Conservation Fund are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
