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.
