SPNA NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT INITIATIVES

We sponsor monthly clean-ups throughout the neighborhood.

In cooperation with Public Works, we want to reduce litter from tourists and resident beach goers.

We work with representatives from Save the Sound to track trash pickup for their regional annual program.

Our liaison, former board member Georgianna Jette, has worked with Audubon from the beginning to foster the creation and designation of the Bird Sanctuary. Audubon recently was approved for a grant for an additional educational hub and, given their history with the Sandy Point Bird Sanctuary, they chose West Haven as the general site. We would love for our neighborhood to be the location and we are willing to provide the support.

We are working with City Council to have an ordinance passed that limits waterfowl hunting at the Sanctuary. This is similar to ordinances passed at many locations along the coast in Connecticut.
