Press Release : 04/27/2012: EPA Honors New York State Environmental Leaders EPA Honors New York State Environmen tal Leaders Release Date: 04/27/2012 Contact Information: Contact: Elizabeth Myer, (212) 637-3860, myer.elizabeth@epa.go v (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced that it has honored 26 individuals, organiza tions and businesses from across New York State with Environmental Quality Awards for their achievements in protecting p ublic health and the environment. EPA also recognized a student from Jericho, N.Y. who is one of ten students selected f rom across the country to receive the President’s Environmental Youth Award. EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck was joined by Mayor Dana Redd of Camden, New Jersey to present the awards to this year’s recipients at a ceremony at EPA’s offices in Manhattan. “Change that will create a healthier and more sustainable future begins with people like those the EPA is honoring today,” said May 30, 2020
2012 EPA Region 2 Environmental Quality Awards/Nomination Accomplishments of James Cataldi, resident of Inwood, New York Submitted by U.S. EPA : Carol Lynes, DESA-MAB-AWQAT James A. Cataldi C: 917-515-8373 H: 212-569-1723 James.Cataldi@gmail.com info@NYCWetLands.org http://NYCWetlands.org/ A Modern Day “LORAX” It seems to me that we live in a world of “more is better”; more development, more cars, more home products, more electronics, more, more, more. The question that begs to be asked is, what happens to all of the “more”? Most of us at EPA understand that some of it ends up disposed of properly in the landfills, (aka, the dump) but much “more” ends up disposed of illegally at local dump sites such as what happened in the North Cove located in Inwood, NY. This was until one man decided to do something about it. If you have ever read the environmental story of the LORAX, by Dr. Seuss, one will remember that the LORAX, while seemingly deflated, defeated and extreme May 30, 2020
E.L.L.I.S. bids goodbye E.L.L.I.S. 2012 graduates rehearse for their Tuesday commencement ceremony, which took place on Ellis Island. http://riverdalepress.com/stories/ELLIS-bids-goodbye,50566 May 30, 2020
Freedom to Create Positive Historical Change Now James ‘Birdman’ Cataldi gives commencement speech at (E.L.L.I.S.) Preparatory Academy graduation event held at Ellis Island last Tuesday (June 26, 2012), awarding intern students who worked at Inwood’s North Cove honorary Jr. Environmental Leaders Awards, to formally recognize their contribution which helped James earn the EPA Award, thus sharing the US EPA Award presented to James Cataldi, (highest honor given to the public), two months back. May 30, 2020
As he rounds the corner of West 208th Street and Ninth Avenue with two green fishing nets over his shoulder, Jam es Cataldi says: “You go first. They’ll flock toward me if they see me.” Inwood’s North Cove, tucked behind subw ay yards near Manhattan’s northeastern tip, is a place of refuge for hundreds of birds. It is also where Mr. Cataldi, 53, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and former computer programmer, spends most of his time. Mr. Cataldi says that bef ore he stumbled upon it, this wedge of waterfront was a dumping ground and a “heroin shantytown.” In a year and a ha lf, he has single-handedly removed hundreds of pounds of garbage, including car windshields and syringes. But “it will take years of continuous work,” he says, to remove completely the garbage still festering under the topsoil. Now that the weather is warming, many of the cove’s feathered residents, including ducks, kestrels and Canada geese, have head ed north. So Mr. Cataldi is focusing on sta May 30, 2020
MIGRATION LANDING POINTS AND PLACES AT END OF MIGRATION PATHS NEED AMPLE FOOD, AND PROTECTION FROM PREDATORS Significant climate change requires the migrating wildlife to have bountiful landing areas or places to provide for them. A place to stop rest, eat, recover from long migrations and prepare for the next, build strong social bonds so the flocks are large enough to travel together to reduce the amount of energy to move through the air for many hours, which new proof has proven flying in v formations does just was scientifically confirmed. May 30, 2020
The waterfowl (geese and ducks) are hearty species, however many have traveled long distances and are stressed, hungry and weakened from the long flight some thousands of miles. They are programmed to migrate south just below the ice line in the winter months, for thousands of years. Maybe tens of thousands. In recent years, the winters are getting more intense over the past years. Even record breaking, despite the general belief of climate warming. Looks more like significant climate change. May 30, 2020
WINTER HOME NEEDS TO HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO KEEP IMMUNE SYSTEMS HEALTH / AND READY FOR SPRING MIGRATION NORTH.. ONL Y 60 more days to get ready for trip north as of January 20th 2014. While most of the waterfowl will start to migrate no rth in 60 or so days, we are working hard to keep the flocks immune systems healthy with oils, vitamins, minerals and ju st enough fuel to keep them warm and strong for the migration north in the spring. WE DON’T WANT SICK OR WEAKENED BIRD S MIGRATING TO OTHER PLACES ONLY HEALTHY STRONG ONES. In the spring the birds to the south like heron and egret will tak e the place of the large flocks of water fowl if past years are any indication of the future. May 30, 2020
HIGH NUMBERS OF LOOSE DOGS OFF LEASH IN THE AREA PARKS BRING MORE BIRDS TO NORTH COVE FOR SAFETY We believe that the unusually high number of loose dogs off leash have made the populations higher at north cove this year. May 30, 2020
MORE FOOD ON THE GROUND IS NEEDED This year North Cove needs more food on the ground to keep the immune systems healthy for all the wildlife using the North Cove for their winter home. THE BIRDS MOVE BETWEEN NORTH COVE AND THE AREA PARKS SO WE ARE SERVING THE ENTIRE AREA NOT JUST NORTH COVE. UNUSUALLY COLD AMD SNOWY WINTER START As the unexpectedly cold winter start and several early snow falls followed by freezing spells killed almost all of the grazing area, at north cove, which was expected to continue to feed the flocks into February, as we planted winter rye in late October. We hoped for at least 45 to 60 days of grazing area this year. So we had to start our supplemental food program earlier than we planned. And working on new methods to keep more grazing pastures starting next year. However we need more funds critically today and next month and are reaching out yo the public to support our mission. May 30, 2020
At the core of our behind the scenes work we have been developing, measuring and refining techniques which look to be becoming increasingly more effective in promoting spring migration north. This work and scientific research directly aids in reducing the numbers of geese year round in a sustainable manor. And not using critical city tax dollars as do the non sustainable killing programs carried out in the area parks in the summer by gassing them to death, including babies. Better to give the geese healthy winter homes, and build the birds up strong to make the migrations north then to kill them, and having year round residents of our parks and ball fields. And all the other benefits of places like the North Cove Wildlife Refuge/ sanctuary. May 30, 2020
