Help count loons! 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. 

When you sign up to participate, you'll tell us where you want to count loons. (It may be a region of the St. Lawrence or one of the Indian River Lakes or other body of water.) You are asked to stay still and count all the loons you see in that place from 8:00 am to 9:00 am. Report your findings on forms we provide and send them directly to the ALCP.

Please register to volunteer in advance with the TILT office so that we may send you the necessary forms for reporting. Register by emailing [email protected], by calling the TILT office at 315-686-5345, or by signing up here.
