Wednesday, June 29, 2011
The grant is part of $930,000 awarded to protect, restore or
enhance 791 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and New York under the Great Lakes
Restoration Initiative (GLRI).
The natural history museum was awarded $61,250 for the Geneva
Swamp Protection Project, which will protect 50 acres of
high-quality wetlands about three miles south of Geneva State Park
Lodge. The wetlands in that area total about 400 acres, and
are home to rare and endangered plants and animals. It also
supports an exceptional diversity of breeding and migratory
birds.
