GREAT SOUTH BAY
AUDUBON SOCIETY’S
ADOPT-A-QUAIL
PROGRAM
The GSBAS’ Adopt-A-Quail Program gives members an
opportunity to aid the Northern Bobwhite Quail Restoration
Project at Connetquot River State Park Preserve. The goal of this
project is to restore the quail population to a self-sustaining level
while educating the community about wildlife and the
environment, as well as naturally reducing the tick population
within the preserve.
The Northern Bobwhite Quail Restoration Project was started in
2006 by local resident, Cathy Wilvert. Cathy is a registered nurse,
avid horsewoman, and nature lover who is concerned about the
lack of ground birds and the high number of ticks at the preserve.
With help from her husband, Ken, and four daughters, Theresa,
Megan, Jennifer, and Emily, Cathy has been working steadily
raising the chicks and releasing them in the preserve.
