Dear NYS birder community,
I am posting this message on behalf of Andrew Rubenfeld.
saddened,
Anders Peltomaa
***********************
Geoffrey Nulle, former president of the Linnaean Society of New York,
passed away at his home in Manhattan a couple of days ago. He had had
recent surgery but the cause of death is not known at this time.
Jeff also served as LSNY vice president and council member. As chair
of the conservation committee he was instrumental in blocking plans for a
major bicycle path through Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Jeff will be best
remembered for his work in establishing a 10-acre designated bird sanctuary
in Riverside Park, as well as his tireless management of the park's famous
"drip." He also did volunteer work at the Great Gull Island office at the
American Museum of Natural History.
Arrangements for a memorial service have not been made yet. The LSNY
website (www.linnaeannewyork.org) will post updated information.
Andrew Rubenfeld
President, Linnaean Society of New York
