2023 Fencing Dates Reminder

Tomorrow will be an absolutely beautiful day at the beach, and we hope to see you volunteering with the AAfCW field staff for spring string fencing at Sandy/Morse Points in West Haven. The beach is located at the end of 1st Ave./Beach St. in West Haven. We will take care of free parking for the lot with the City of West Haven. 

  • Sandy/Morse Points, West Haven - Wednesday, April 12th, 10:00am

Two other spring string fencing dates are below, and we would greatly appreciate anyone who can come out to help us! Any of 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.

  • 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 any of these dates, and thank you!
