During this time,the Group has actively supported natural habitat protection, conducted public outreach and education programs, and led efforts to monitor threatened wildlife species within the Bay to Sound area. As the contractor for this vital phase of the initiative, the Group will help the Town achieve the goals of increasing public access to the Bay to Sound, restoring habitat,removing invasive species,and creating opportunities for passive and active public education and stewardship of the environment. Proposed Scope of Work The Bay to Sound,Project has been a complex undertaking from its conception. Led and chiefly coordinated by the Town of Southold,the staff, elected officials,and local civic groups from the Town,the Village of Greenport,and Suffolk County have been involved in the project's development. The project area consists of various parcels totaling roughly 850 acres of publicly owned land spanning from the Peconic Bay to the Long Island Sound. As a whole,these parcels comprise one of the largest protected areas on the North Fork of Long Island. There have been and currently are significant challenges for the Project. These include: agreements between multiple levels of government and their respective agencies delaying the Project implementation on occasion; limited public access due to parking limitations or trailheads; lack of information in the form of signage, printed collateral, and web info to promote awareness; some areas within the Project area have lacked contiguous parcels,thus leaving"islands" of protected space; expansive areas of invasive plants and historic rubbish sites have left portions of the Project area unattractive and bf little use to native wildlife species. Fortunately,under the leadership of the Town of Southold,the Project has found a new life with momentum not before realized. With a focus on promoting awareness and educating the public about the Project the result will be an appreciation for the area and a willingness to become involved in a variety of activities, such as: trail clean-ups, invasive species removal and native plantings, and participating in a variety of citizen science activities to inventory rare flora and fauna. 1 The Group has a solid track record of working on similar projects with multiple government agencies and communities in the name of conservation. As noted in more detail in the "Qualifications"section of this proposal, for over 45 years the Group has strived to connect the public to the natural world as a means to appreciate , it, protect it,and become an advocate for it. The Group is deeply committed to helping carry out the Town's vision for Phase 2 of this Project. Proposed Approach As specified in the "Contract Documents for Request for Proposal" for the Bay to Sound Integrated Trails Initiative,the following approach or plan of action apply to Tasks 16 and 17 - Education and Volunteer Coordination,and are components of a larger project. The Project is slated to begin in January 2018 and full completion of all tasks occurring by March 2019. As noted in the accompanied timeframe,we anticipate completing all required tasks by March 2019,however we welcome the opportunity to extend the contract further if both parties are amenable. As further outlined in the Key Personnel and Staffing section of this proposal, our three-member Project team has been carefully chosen to reflect the needs and requirements of this Bay to Sound Initiative. For that reason,we have a Project Manager with nearly 15 years experience managing similar projects, staff,working with multiple government agencies and local organizations,a solid track record completing projects in a timely manner, producing quality reports, and maintaining clear and open communications at all times. We are also developing programs consistent with those featured at Downs Farm Preserve and under the direction of the Town of Southold. This continuity and experience will allow our team to begin this project immediately. Lastly, filling out the team is an individual with more than 35 years experiencein wildlife monitoring and conducting citizen science projects on the East End, most notably a comprehensive River Otter tracking project within the Project area. Relevant Capacity to Perform Services, Experience, and Qualifications The following programs and initiatives showcase the depth of experience, qualifications and background the Group has to complete the tasks set forth: • South Fork Trails Preservation and Paumanok Path Development ' During the mid-1980s through the early 2000s, Group for the South Fork (now known as Group for the East End) was instrumental in advocating for the preservation of nearly 700 acres of natural habitat in Brookhaven, Southampton,and East Hampton towns. The 125-mile Paumanok Path, extending from Rocky Point to Montauk Point,was conceived, planned and implemented under the leadership-of Group staff and local citizen activists. Relevant Tasks: 16, 17A, 17H 2 I • Forest Breeding Bird Inventory and Monitoring As a continuation of the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas, a similar project was developed during 1993-1998 for newly acquired lands on the South Fork of Long Island. Spearheaded by Group biologists and local Audubon members, the bird monitoring not only provided critical data on the diversity and abundance of threatened avian species,lands vital for the continued breeding success were later protected through Community Preservation Funds (CPF) after achieving a higher ranking. Relevant Tasks: 17H • Southold Conservation Agenda -The Southold Conservation Agenda (SCA) was designed, printed, mailed and circulated in the local North Fork newspaper, Suffolk Times,in the spring of 2010. It has not only been a tremendous planning tool for the Town of Southold, it gave Group for the East End strong credibility after moving offices from the South Fork and sparked interest in our local volunteer recruitment Relevant Tasks: 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 17E, 17F, 17G • Pharmaceutical Disposal and Aquifer Protection Initiative * In 2011, Suffolk County contracted with the Group to address the emerging environmental impacts of improper disposal of medications by providing East End police departments with NYS-approved lock boxes where residents can properly dispose of unwanted or expired medications.The initiative included a public outreach and educational campaign that reached out to more than 80,000 households in the East End region,as well as a targeted media campaign.Widely popular, in the first four months nearly 2 tons of medications were deposited across the region. Relevant Tasks: 16, 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 17E, 17F, 17G • Beach-dependent Species-Management Program and 'Be A Good Egg" From 2012-17,Town of Southold contracted with Group staff to monitor threatened shorebird species, notably Piping Plover and Least Tern,at 20 sites previously determined as potential breeding locations by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Management of the program has included: site monitoring,volunteer recruitment, midseason and postseason reports, annual dredge assessment report,and progress reports as requested. In 2015,the Audubon Society invited the Group to participate in the "Be A Good Egg" program that features students taking a pledge to help promote awareness through the creation of artwork for signage to in an effort to better inform the public about threatened shorebirds. Relevant Tasks: 17A, 17B, 17G, 17H 3 • East End Wildlife Conservation Initiative ** A collaboration with the Long Island Community Foundation,this project was essential in bringing greater public and governmental awareness across the East End region about the expanding number of wildlife species whose populations are threatened-due to exploitation,lack of habitat, climate change or other factors. Funding was used to conduct community outreach and develop advocacy materials and a comprehensive media campaign in an effort to promote government action. A website nyswap.org was also developed to better inform the public about threatened wildlife,various Long Island-based restoration projects, and resources on how to become more involved in wildlife conservation projects. Relevant Tasks: 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 17E, 17F, 17G, 17H *The"Don't Flush Medications!" mailing piece is included as a writing sample that demonstrates the Group's ability to condense and concisely present larger amounts if information. **The New York State Wildlife Action Plan's website nyswap.org is another example of the Group's ability to provide complex information in a condensed,yet easily viewable format. Key Personnel and Staffing The proposed Project team members from Group for the East End include: • Aaron Virgin,Vice President- Project Manager • Jessica Kennelly, Environmental Educator- Outreach and Education Coordinator; Volunteer Recruitment and Management In addition,we plan to hire the consulting services of a former Group for the South Fork employee, Mike Bottini,Wildlife Biologist,to coordinate aspects of the citizen science programming. As requested,the current resumes for all three personnel are included in this proposal. Project Timeframe The Project Team will meet biweekly to ensure all goals and expectations are met, with more frequent calls/meetings as needed, and the overall purpose is to keep the Project moving forward. These internal meetings are independent of public events and activities,meetings with Town staff,and additional project partners. The following detailed schedule is proposed for the Project,however it should not be viewed as an exhaustive list. We will be using the Bay to Sound Project: Rare Species and Natural Community Inventory (Ring, R.M,A.L.

INTRODUCTION l Overall Project Description i The Town of Southold will complete phase two of the Bay to Sound Trails initiative by adding trails, boardwalks, wildlife viewing areas, parking, kiosks, and educational materials within the project area including a newly acquired open space parcel. Dilapidated structures and septic systems will be removed and the area restored to a natural state. A section of Moore's Drain'l Creek will be day-lighted and restored for habitat and fish passage. Clean-ups and citizen science opportunities will involve the public in stewardship. i Phase two of this initiative will connect open space parcels in the Town of Southold, Village,'of Greenport, and Suffolk County together via pedestrian and bike trails creating a non-motorized connection from the Peconic Bay to the Long Island Sound. The entire trail design was completed in phase one. Matching funds consist of the Town's acquisition of the Sill property. Goals of the project are to increase public access to the Bay and Sound, restore habitat, remove invasive species, and create opportunities for passive and active public education and stewardship of the environment. Expected results include new trails,boardwalks, observation blinds, new and restored parking areas, restoration of the Sill House site, daylighting and habitat restoration at Moore's Drain, educational kiosks, a new footbridge, maps of the expanded trail system (kiosk and online), implementation of citizen science research and programs, and educational materials related to stormwater management and the Peconic and Long Island Sound estuaries.
