Visit to the Ecology Site, Near Home

these are just a samplong of the animals that were rescued or donated to the animal preserve near our home. It is on the site of the former landfill, and not only is there an animal preserve, but there is a greenhouse complex and a walking/running/cycling track. What a great way to recycle a garbage dump. I remember going there with my Dad when I was little, before the current landfill was purchased and opened. The fitness track was one of the first of its kind here on Long Island, and the animal preserve (WE cal it the Ecology Site) is FREE, yes, I said Free to anyone who lives in our township. My boys loved it when they were younger, and took field trips there in Elementary School, Cassidy loves going there anytime of the year. We went today, couldn't waste a beautiful SPring afternoon, even though I really should have been cooking for Easter, but it was so worth it. So many folks must have felt the same way, it was crowded!!!!! It was worth the crowds too! Nice way to spend a vacation day with my daughter.
