On preserved land in Cold Spring Harbor, a groundhog burrowed amid brown and brittle wildflowers Saturday afternoon. An onlooker pointed out a red-tailed hawk perched on bare branches.
This was "a pollinator dream walk," said Kevin Munroe, the Long Island Preserve Director for The Nature Conservancy, as he led about 20 New York City residents through the trails and meadows of Uplands Farm Sanctuary. The pollinators were asleep, he explained.
As partners, Latino Outdoors (LO) and The Nature Conservancy are working to rebuild the meadow ecosystem once prevalent throughout New York State, said Melodie Mendez, the New York and Northeast regional coordinator for Latino Outdoors.
"Habitat loss and development often means that those important ecosystems disappear," said Mendez, of the Bronx.
