CT Coastal Access Survey

[Dori Sosensky]

This isn't strictly a lep issue but I thought many of you would be 
interested.  If you are involved with other wildlife groups, feel free to 
forward.

thanks

The Connecticut Ornithological Association  and Audubon CT urge all lovers 
of wildlife to help the CT-DEP distribute recreational access funds by 
submitting a Coastal Access Survey - Wildlife Observation form.

The CT-DEP solicits input in their effort to understand the public's 
coastal recreation needs and to better assess the demand for recreational 
uses along Connecticut's coast.  To this end, they are conducting a Coastal 
Access Survey.

The results of this survey will effect how the CT DEP spends recreational 
use funds as the responses will be used in identifying and prioritizing 
both land acquisitions and recreational facility improvements along the 
coast.   The more wildlife observers respond to the survey, the greater the 
portion of DEP's pie will be allocated to wildlife.

Please help CT  wildlife win by requesting and returning a Coastal Access - 
Wildlife Observation Survey from the CT-DEP Office of Long Island Sound 
Programs.

The DEP plans to distribute the survey at the end of January with a return 
date of March 1st.  The packets will include a survey and 2 CT Coastal 
Access Maps showing public access locations along the coast and along the 
lower CT River.  Participants will fill out a survey and mark one of the 
maps, both of which will be returned to DEP (preaddressed stamped envelope 
provided).  The second map, (which is invaluable in finding coastal 
outlooks) is meant for the participant to keep as a thank you.

Obtain your survey by calling 860-424-3034 or emailing susan.fox at po.state.ct.us
Be sure to request the Wildlife Observation version.

Please contact DEP today!
