Protecting Your Land
We can help you permanently protect the land you love…
If your vision for your property is one of little change, a conservation easement can be a good option. The Edward L. Rose Conservancy listens to your vision of what you would like to see happen with your land now and in the future, and helps make your vision happen.

Bird Watching Tips: It's Summer... Where Did the Birds Go?

In the dog days of summer, birds seem to disappear—the dawn chorus wanes and an odd silence takes hold in woodlands. A lot of birders hang up their binoculars until fall migration. But there’s no ...Nocturnal activity continues in the High Point Preserve which is under the stewardship of the Edward L Rose Conservancy. Porcupine, fishers, and a fox return to this trail location. A fox approaches the field of view of the motion activated camera and the fox balks and runs. Curious from the behavior whether the fox is able to detect either a high frequency sound or the infra-red illumination source from the camera.
In this video we can obserrve some behavior from at least three individual fishers including a pair. Fishers are good tree climbers, with retractable claws and the ability to rotate their rear paws to enable tham to climb head first down a tree.
These videos were filmed at nght using an infra-red light source. Two porcupines meet and the surprise encounter raises the quills on one of them.
