From Linda Ziemba, FWS:

This is an excellent opportunity to get an inside view of one of the most
beautiful wetlands in our area. Tschache Pool is closed to the public to avoid
disturbing the abundant wildlife.

You Can Give Montezuma Wildlife a Better Place to Live!

Join MARSH (Montezuma Alliance for the Restoration of Species & Habitats)

MARSH is part of a larger effort to restore, protect, and enhance wildlife
habitat on nearly 50,000 acres in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. We are forming
a VOLUNTEER GROUP to support the habitat restoration efforts of the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service, New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation, Montezuma Audubon Center, and other partners at Montezuma. This
group will work on controlling invasive species in grassland, shrubland, forest,
marsh, and river. The work is hands-on as we cut and pull invasive species &
replant with natives that will be more beneficial to wildlife & less harmful to
Montezuma habitats overall!

Work Day: Tuesday, July 7, 8AM –1:00PM
