Our Partners
The Bald Eagle Re-introduction program has been undertaken with a
great number of partners.
This year, the Urban Park Rangers are working in association with Jim Elliott, Executive Director of the International Center for Birds of Prey.
BP has contributed a significant amount to
sponsor the project, and Fairway Market is providing more than sixteen
pounds of fish a day for the birds. The State of Wisconsin provided
the eaglets themselves, and New York State’s Department of
Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
all provided advice, guidance and the requisite permits.
The Parks Department’s 5-Boro Shops built the hack boxes
and the platform, and the Forestry Division helped by pruning the trees
near the hack site into a jungle-gym for the young birds.
Finally, Park’s Natural Resources Group has devoted years to helping
restore the forested slopes of Inwood Park, and the Urban Park Rangers
have pioneered and pushed forward on the notion of re-introducing
extirpated species back into the City’s parks.
