Restoration
Native America has helped restore natural habitats of Long Island, New York.
Oak Brush Plains
In the midst of a sprawling suburban community on Long Island is a large tract of land that has been the sad recipient of discarded goods and neglect. As more trash accumulated on the site over the years it became even more reason for those with truckfuls of unwanted garbage to make their dumping quick and cheap and easy.
Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge
In an effort to help woodpeckers breed in the face of displacement by the introduced european starling, Native America is erecting shielded woodpecker nest boxes in parks, preserves, and refuges. The one pictured here was put up behind the visitor's center at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York.
Central Park
Native America places a shielded Woodpecker nest box in the middle of New York City in Central Park.
Sagamore Hill
In early autumn of 2004, Native America placed two nest boxes for bluebirds in the fields of Theodore Roosevelt's home on Long Island in Sagamore Hill. Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed watching and identifying the birds on his property and the bluebird was among them. While there are no records of nest boxes there in the early 1900's, today's dwindling native bird populations need nesting site supplementation.
