2023 String Fencing Dates

The 2023 Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds spring string fencing dates are below, and we would greatly appreciate anyone who can come out to help us! These dates can double as a good time to drop off a liability form, pick up a badge/lanyard, and speak with staff about monitoring.

  • Sandy/Morse Points, West Haven - Wednesday, April 12th, 10:00am (rain date Thursday, April 13th, 10:00am)
  • Long Beach, Stratford, beaches #0-3 (East) - Monday, April 17th, 10:00am (rain date Tuesday, April 18th, 10:00am)
  • Bluff Point State Park, Groton - Wednesday, April 26th, 10:00am (rain date Thursday, April 27th, 10:00am)
Fencing will be placed at Long Beach West/Pleasure Beach and all other locations by staff only. Remember that any and all volunteers are welcome including those who are not monitors. Volunteers should bring: work gloves, water, a snack, appropriate footwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats and whatever else you may need to avoid too much sun. These locations can either be quite cool or very warm depending on the day so dress for any weather. 

A pocket knife or multi-tool can be handy and a sledge hammer or mallet can be helpful to bring. Plan for heavy lifting and toting, but be mindful of your safety. Less intensive work needed includes stringing posts and putting up signs. Please RSVP to ctwaterbirds@gmail.com if you can make it to for any of these dates, and thank you!
