CLCT would like to thank Tamara Sutfin and Kathy Wadlow and
The Menunkatuck Audubon Society, led by Terry Shaw, which has been instrumental in helping the Land Trust repair and replace all of our 12+ osprey platforms throughout town. |
 |
| In late March we got a call that a previously active platform off Beach Park Road had storm damage. Working quickly, Terry and his crew replaced the platform that weekend just in time for the return of the osprey. The CLCT would like to thank Tamara Sutfin and Kathy Wadlow for their donation to replace the osprey platform. |
