Re: [cayugabirds-l] Future of Lott Farm & Basin Upland Sandpipers?

The change in the Empire Farm Days location was announced in early October 2020.  It originally rotated around the state until the Lotts convinced the people holding the event that the Lott Farm was conveniently central and could be adapted to make an ideal site, so they it settled in there beg

Given how rare the bird is, How about getting NY Audubon involved? Would there be a role for them to play? Pete Sar On Sat, Jan 9, 2021, 9:15 PM Deb Grantham wrote: > That’s a good idea. > > > > Deb > > > > > > *From:* Regi Teasley > *Sent:* Saturday, January 9, 2021 9:06 PM > *To:* Deb Grantha

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Future of Lott Farm & Basin Upland Sandpipers?

NRCS has incentives/subsidies for ag land placed in conservation easements, including for wildlife habitat. I don’t know that it would be enough for them, though. Probably going through the Seneca County Soil & Water Conservation District is the way to go. I can check around a bit. Deb From:

[cayugabirds-l] Future of Lott Farm & Basin Upland Sandpipers?

As many of you know, the private Lott Farm, located on the NE corner of NYS-414 and Martin Rd on the south border of the Town of Seneca Falls, has long been the site for the August farm equipment fair called Empire Farm Days. Therefore it has fortuitously been managed as an extensive grassland.

This may be a separate issue, but I would hope the high levels of harmful algae that Dryden lake is prone to every year might be addressed somehow in this process. I am a rare visitor to the lake during the summer, but I have to say, I would not dare to put even my kayak in that water. The color. T

Good news...losing Dryden Lake would be a tragedy for wildlife and humans alike. If/when the expected grumbling about finding the needed funds and how that would affect local taxes comes up, this should be a project that the local birding community could support financially? Marie Get Outlook
