Fw: GSLA Update on surveys at Jordan River State Park

["gary grubb" <gbg at Aros dot Net>]

I am forwarding this message to all of you wonderful birders because there
is a desperate need for you to show up at the following location and talk to
the surveyors.  The land which is being ravaged by "off road vehicles",
model airplane enthusiasts, etc., was and should still be prime nesting
habitat for Snowy Plovers.  I doubt that the number of birders who take part
in the survey will be as high as the number of 4 wheeler enthusiasts.
However, we should make a strong point that "the land is not even for us
'birder'...it is the exact type of terrain critically needed for the Snowy
Plovers who have been nesting there for thousands of years. And the hundreds
or thousands of them that need that particular type of habitat are not able
to take part in the survey.  So we are speaking for them."  Please folks,
take part in this effort on behalf of the birds we appreciate so much.  If
we don't do it nobody will.  Thank you in advance.
Gary Grubb

> Below is current information about the need for birders and walkers to
visit
> Jordan River State Park and, while there, to complete a survey that will
> help determine whether or not the park will be managed predominantly for
> OHV, model airplanes, or wildlife (with restoration of riparian habitat).
> The message is from Jeff Salt, GSLA's education consultant .

>  I learned yesterday that the Jordan River State Park surveyors were young
> girls that had been harassed out on the trail, and so were pulled off the
> trail location. that's why nobody was getting surveyed at the trail
> location. So, what is happening is that the surveyors are located at the
> gate leading to the model airport from the frontage road. This is the same
> place where we met for our field trip in October. What people should do is
> visit the park by car, and stop at the gate that leads to the runway.
> Surveyors will be there today (July 11) from about 1:00pm or 2:00pm until
> 8:00pm. Then again on Friday in the morning hours. I will be getting a
> schedule from the park manager for the rest of the dates. The way to the
> park is to take I-215 going north past the airport, and take the 2100 N
> exit. Turn right after leaving the freeway, the road curves to the right,
> then take the first hard left. That will take you to the frontage road.
> continue on the frontage road for just a short distance, you should see
the
> surveyors. If one travels on the frontage road past the horse riding
> facilities, that's too far. If they are not at the gate, then try getting
> into the model airport area, they may be there. There should be no fee.
The
> surveyors are supposed to be set up outside the fee area.
