On Saturday, Crossroads at Big Creek hosted the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology’s Global Big Day, holding a range of activities centered on observing nature. One of the highlights of Crossroads’ Big Day was taking part in the county-wide Big Plant. For the project, Crossroads is planting 480 trees. Crossroads Executive Director Laurel Hauser notes that those trees will contribute to a restoration project taking place all year.
Hauser said that Saturday’s sunny skies felt like a reward for the Crossroads Habitat Healers, who had spent a lot of time this year planting in tough conditions. The restoration project was described as being for the birds. As Hauser says the project is about restoring wildlife habitat.
