SUPPORT SSPRS
|
Good research leads to a better understanding which leads to better decision making. The work done by the Shingle Shanty Preserve and Research Station creates a richer knowledge of the environment and species in the Adirondacks, and the effects of climate change upon them. With your support we can host more research, foster educational programs, and provide the scientific community with a rare resource to expand the knowledge needed to protect and preserve delicate species and sensitive ecosystems.
The Shingle Shanty Preserve and Research Station is a 501(c)3, charitable organization, making your donation tax deductible. SSPRS officers, board members, and Scientific Advisory Committee members serve on a volunteer basis, so more of our fundraising dollars can be channeled to foster better research.
Your donation counts! We need your support to ensure we attract research that will make a difference and to have the basic resources and facilities to accommodate researchers and students. Please consider donating today. Donations of all amounts are welcome.

Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina), early June. In the spring, Snapping Turtles emerge from the water and search out gravelly areas to lay their eggs. While coyotes and other predators seem very adept at finding the nests, surely some are undiscovered.

Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus), early November. This hare is just beginning the process of "putting on" its white winter coat. By the end of November, most hares in the Preserve will be almost solid white.
Photographer's note: Snowshoe Hares don't typically pose for pictures like this one did. It was located just under the edge of a bank, and seemed completely undisturbed by my presence - its primary concern seemed to be to stay still, even though it was in full view of me, and it knew I was there. The ruffled fur behind its head suggests that it likely had just escaped from a predator, which it found much more intimidating than the photographer.
