Quail Hatching Workshop

Please click here for the flyer regarding a Quail Hatching Program that CLASC will be hosting on Friday, January 10^th, 2020 at 2:00 pm at SCLS. As quails are a natural tick predator, the quail incubation and conservation project may contribute to controlling the tick population on Long Island. This program will be presented by the Center for Environmental Education and Discovery (CEED).  

This program is free for CLASC members and $15.00 for non-members, so please share with any colleagues. 

We hope to see you there!
