[JayC]

Passing this along for a friend and a good cause:

 

The Bayshore Watershed Council is seeking volunteers to help install a new osprey platform along Raritan Bay on Sunday, March 25, 2018.

 

We will meet at 7am at Lakeside Manor located near NATCO Lake in Hazlet Township. We plan to relocate the old osprey platform from NATCO Lake to a better nesting site along the edge of Raritan Bay.

 

The early meeting time corresponds to an early morning outgoing tide. Low tide is around 9:30am. 

 

In order for this event to happen. We will need about 15 to 20 volunteers. As the nesting pole is heavy, plus there are other tools to carry and we need a person to videotape the event.  

 

Date: Sunday, March 25, 2018

Time: 7:00am

Meeting Location: Lakeside Manor parking lot near the entrance to NATCO Lake Park in Hazlet Township on Highway 36. 

 

GPS address: 410 NJ Highway 36 Hazlet NJ 07730 

 

We need at least 15 to 20 volunteers to help carry a nesting platform and pole, carry tools, dig holes, or take pictures and video. Please bring knee boots, hip or chest waders to wear and a pair of work gloves. Conditions will be muddy and wet. Please bring a post-hole digger, shovels, and rope.
