New Stewards for Scudder Pond:

• (February 2011) Recently, Gloria and Carl Blench, Cindy Johnson and Ham Hayes volunteered to be stewards for the pond. NCAS has a long tradition of service to wildlife, the environment and the community. Scudder Pond is wonderful asset in the care of NCAS, and it is easily accessible to birders and the general public in an urban setting. These new stewards have made a commitment to help preserve the health and integrity of Scudder Pond and its resident wildlife. A number of projects are in mind for the pond, including new Wood Duck boxes, drain maintenance and sighting reports. Future projects may include improved viewing access, environmental quality monitoring and education. Observations, suggestions and help from NCAS members is always appreciated.
