TILT is once again looking for volunteers to assist with the annual loon census! The Adirondack Loon Conservation Program (ALCP) collects data from throughout northern New York in order to study trends in the population and implement management efforts if indicated.  Please register to volunteer in advance with the TILT office so that we may send you the necessary forms for reporting. 

Participants will choose the location (from throughout the region) they wish to monitor for one hour, from 8 - 9 am. During that time, they will count the number of adult and juvenile loons they see, and enter the information on report forms that are sent to the ALCP.

All TILT participants will be entered in a drawing for a "Loon Paddle," a custom-made 1000 Island Picture Paddle, handcrafted by John Miller III.
