FROM THE LATEST DEC NEWSLETTER---AMPHIBIAN MIGRATIONS AND ROAD CROSSINGS VOLUNTEER TRAINING

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.



FROM THE LATEST DEC NEWSLETTER----Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings Project Volunteer Training

The Amphibian Migrations and Road Crossings (AM&RC) Project enlists volunteers to find locations where amphibian migrations cross roads; document weather and traffic conditions; record migrating amphibians; and help them across the road. The team at the Hudson River Estuary Program will be providing one virtual and three in-person volunteer trainings this year. Because our in-person trainings have limited space, we will give priority to volunteers from the Hudson River estuary watershed, especially those who have not attended an in-person program before. If you are a returning volunteer and need a refresher, please consider joining the virtual session.

In-person sessions:

Wednesday, Feb. 11, 6:00-9:00 pm in Albany (Albany Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission

Saturday, Feb. 14, 9:30am-12:30 pm in New Paltz (Ulster Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Wallkill Valley Land Trust

Wednesday, Feb. 18, 6:00-9:00 pm in Garrison (Putnam Co.) Register to attend
Hosted by Hudson Highlands Land Trust

Virtual session:

Save the date! Tuesday, Feb. 24, 5:30pm Stay tuned for more details and a registration link. If you'd like to subscribe to receive future AM&RC bulletins, you can sign up at the bottom of the AM&RC webpage.

Training topics will include volunteer protocols, safety measures, data collection and reporting on Survey123, and species identification. If you're unable to attend an in-person or virtual program, you can view our YouTube training modules. We would like all volunteers to complete some form of training prior to surveying roads and submitting data. Thank you!

MORE RECENTLY UNEARTHED BITS & PIECES ABOUT CROTON NOTABLES KATHLEEN BELLER, PETER STRAUSS AND LINCOLN STEFFINS--CLICK ON THE IMAGES AND LINKS.

As many of you know, actress Kathleen Beller was one of the village's most notable residents. Here she is in 1982 and ABC's Dynasty. For more about Beller and her time on Dynasty, click here.

NEXT UP, Peter Strauss---who got his start in the Croton Shakespeare Festival--and Kathleen Quinlan in the 1996 TV drama, IN THE LAKE IN THE WOODS. 

Based on the novel of the same name (read about it here).  It is sometimes available on Amazon.  We really enjoyed watching this one again.

And finally, while the name is only known in certain circles today, a look back at LINCOLN STEFFENS. 

Steffens was a leading investigative journalist in his time--he is remembered for investigating corruption in municipal government in American cities. His enthusiasm for communism soured by the time his memoirs appeared in 1931. We stumbled upon this 1931 photo of him and his son at their Croton home. Read more about him here.
