Good news for birds and bird lovers! The Columbia County Department of Public Works is adjusting their mowing schedule of the Hudson North Bay. Read the Register-Star article.
The Columbia Land Conservancy commends DPW for its willingness to give this new mowing schedule a try. After they are closed, landfills are subject to regular monitoring and maintenance by law, but they are increasingly also being managed to support wildlife habitat and provide public recreational opportunities. The new mowing schedule will substantially enhance the habitat value of this property.
