SUMMARY:Celebrating Migration on the 250th Anniversary of the Staten Island Peace Conference in Tottenville
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Peter Dorosh \nFocus: We’ll combine history and birding on this walk (held the day after the actual anniversary date) with a visit to Conference House Park (formerly Billopp House Park) at the southern tip of Staten Island—the southernmost point in New York State and a renowned hotspot for fall bird migration. \nThis historic site was the setting of the Staten Island Peace Conference of September 1776\, when a delegation consisting of Benjamin Franklin\, John Adams\, and Edward Rutledge met with British Admiral Richard Howe to discuss a possible peace settlement following the American defeat at the Battle of Brooklyn (Long Island). Although the conference failed to produce an agreement\, it remains a significant event in Revolutionary War history. \nFor more information about the conference\, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staten_Island_Peace_Conference \nRegistration Period: September 6th-September 10th \nRegistrar: Peter Dorosh Prosbird@gmail.com \nParticipant limit: 16 \nCarpool fee: $15 \nNOTES: Departure time is 6:30 am. The meeting spot will be provided upon the end of the registration period. Current club members and drivers will receive priority. Each person must register individually; you may not register additional participants. Bring a sun hat\, sun block\, lunch\, sufficient water and scope if you own one. Mount Loretto Park is another likely spot to visit afterwards. \n
