Several years ago Washington Crossing Audubon
Society received a generous bequest from the late Polly
Holden to be used for conservation and environmental
education. WCAS provides grants from the Holden
Fund to assist individuals and organizations in
advancing conservation and environmental education
through initiatives broadly related to birdlife and bird
studies. The 2013 Holden Grant recipients are:
| $4,500 | to The Nicoya Peninsular Avian Research
Station for bird banding stations on the Nicoya
Peninsula. |
| $5,000 | to Life Net for banding and monitoring of birds
and environmental education in the Loma Alta
Ecological Reserve (Tumbesian IBA) and
Reserva Las Tangaras (Choco IBA). |
| $2,500 | to Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space for
invasive species control on Baldpate Mountain. |
| $4,000 | to the D&R Greenway Land Trust for habitat
restoration at the Cedar Ridge Reserve. |
| $3,000 | to the Kenneth Francis Memorial Fund to
establish an outdoor avian educational facility
for Plumsted Township. |
