Snow in May! #tughill

Moms sing lullaby “hands up, please don’t shoot me”

If you’re most active in the late afternoon, dusk or dawn and prefer open country, you may just be a short-eared owl! Short-eared owls are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Photo: Susan Sawyer/USFWS at Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.

Picture yourself as an owl, looking over a snow-covered landscape, knowing that you have to find and catch food somewhere out there, under the snow. How do you do it? Find out in our Question of the Week: bit.ly/39TKP5p

THTLT is #SpeakingUpforNYFarms today with the Alliance for New York’s Farmland! Join us in asking state leaders to protect New York farms and support the next generation of farmers: farmland.salsalabs.org/alliancefornys…

I was honored to speak AFT New York's annual legislative breakfast on the importance of farmland protection & succession, green farming practices, & affordable land access for new farmers. It’s going to take all of us working together to keep NY farming strong into the future.

Since its launch, Farmland for a New Generation NY has helped 68 farmers find land, keeping 2,613 acres in farming across the state! Please join us in #SpeakingUpforNYFarms to keep this critical program in the state budget. farmland.salsalabs.org/alliancefornys…

We are very excited to be partnering with the Northern New York Community Foundation as well as more than 50 tri-county nonprofits for #giveNNY 315Day! For ways to help go to nnycf.org/givenny/

The #NYEnviroFund is critical for ensuring state dollars are available to protect our irreplaceable farmland. Between 2001-2016, New York lost over a quarter of a million acres of its farmland. We must save our best farmland for growing food and supporting #cleanwaterandjobs!

Need a break from virtual learning? Bring the kids out to explore our interactive hiking trails! New Yorkers need the #NYEnviroFund – it funds open spaces we all need.

New York is home to some of the best farmland in the nation, yet this land is under threat. From 2001-2016, over a quarter of a million acres of farmland were lost or fragmented. Join us in asking state leaders to protect our farmland! #SpeakingUpforNYFarms

The #NYBondAct would protect and expand New York’s amazing parks, farms, and natural areas that we have all grown to rely on throughout the pandemic. Read the report to see how we can support 84,000 local jobs. New Yorkers for Clean Water and Jobs cleanwaterandjobs.org/wp-content/upl… Governor Kathy Hochul

For too long, the demand for #NYEnviroFund programs has far outpaced available funding. By increasing #NYEnviroFund to $400 million, the state can address the need for funding to protect clean air and water throughout NY. @CleanWaterAndJobs cleanwaterandjobs.org/the-environmen… @CarlHeastie

Here's our Land Protection Manager & Executive Director. Both hired with a Conservation Partnership Program (CPP) grant! We call on legislature to support a $3M CPP and $40 M #NYEnviroFund to make jobs like this possible all over NY. Governor Kathy Hochul New York State Senate NY Assembly Majority

What is better than permanently protecting one property? How about several that form a corridor for migratory animals like this moose. A $3M CCP and $400M #NYEnviroFund can make this possible. We call on the legislature for their support. Sen. Stewart-Cousins @CarlHeastie
