TILT is once again looking for volunteers to help count the local Common Loon population for the annual loon census! The Adirondack Loon Conservation Program collects data from throughout northern New York in order to study trends in the population and implement management efforts if indicated.

Volunteers choose an area of the River to monitor for the hour between 8:00 and 9:00 am on Saturday, July 16, counting all the loons and if possible, noting adults and juveniles separately. Download reports to fill out and send on to the good folks at ALCP for their research. For more information, visit Adirondack Loon Census.

Please register to volunteer in advance with the TILT office so you can be included in the drawing for the 1000 Islands Souvenir Loon Paddle, handcrafted and donated by John Miller III. Register by signing up here, emailing [email protected], by calling the TILT office at 315-686-5345.
