The Friends of Waterbury Reservoir ("FWR") is hosting two guest speakers at the Green Mountain Club Hiker Center on Route 100 in Waterbury Center on Wednesday, April 16, starting at 6pm. Attendance is free of charge, but pre-registration is requested to be sure we have sufficient space.

VT LOON RECOVERY PROGRAM by Eric Hanson, Biologist at the VT Center for Eco Studies. The FWR plans to assist the VT Loon Recovery Program to formally document and monitor the Reservoir's loons beginning spring 2014 to confirm whether there are nested pairs and, if so, to help implement appropriate conservation strategies.

ROZALIA PROJECT FOR A CLEAN OCEAN by Rachel Miller, Founder & Co-Director. The FWR has partnered with the VT Dept of Forests, Parks & Recreation, the Town of Waterbury, and the Rozalia Project to conduct a trash / debris study on and around the Reservoir beginning this spring. Shawn Donovan, an environmental analyst from Waterbury, is the project leader. To learn more about Rozalia, visit http://www.rozaliaproject.org/

These two projects represent some of the work underway by the FWR in collaboration with the VT Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation. Volunteers and sponsors are welcome!
