The College of Staten was a great place to learn and grow as a young man. I am a proud graduate of CSI. csitoday.com/2023/02/alumni…

The first photos of the first pink-footed geese ever documented on Staten Island.

@NYCParks Blue Heron Park

What's your favorite lesser-known NYC park?

Up close and personal. A great pre-parade tour of the floats.

Another great Owl Prowl crowd. This time we explored the woods of Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve.

@jess_scarcella Thank you for your willingness to serve.

Thank you Staten Island & Southern Brooklyn for putting your trust in me to be your next State Senator. Truly humbled by the support and excited to serve the community I call home.

If the early birds are getting the worms, the late flying bats must be gets the bugs. Chapin Woods, Staten Island 11/5/22

@mikeschnall @Sherrise_P @NY4P On the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy SI’s congresswoman announced a $48 million project to dredge navigable waters beside wetlands for the development of hard surface manufacturing.

“…facilities such as beaches, wetlands and parks which, if built right, can serve as a cushion for harsh weather conditions that might hit coastal and neighboring communities.” Great op-ed by good friend and parks advocacy leader @Sherrise_P of @NY4P. citylimits.org/2022/10/31/opi…

Greeting another beautiful day with the early birds.

@OstapiukJ Why should the development of a foot print for the construction of offshore wind turbines be allowed to destroy Staten Island wetlands? Environmental law is as legally binding as labor law.

Staten Island’s Arthur Kill Terminal, a proposed offshore wind turbine assembly facility in Richmond Valley touted as an integral piece in the state’s energy goals, received a $48 million federal grant Wednesday in a major step forward for the project. silive.com/news/2022/10/s…

@CommunityOSW Except when developing a footprint for the construction of offshore wind turbines? Staten Island wetlands should not be destroyed to allow for turbine construction.

Community Offshore Wind not only prioritizes providing clean energy to the Northeast, but also protecting the environment around offshore wind sites.

Another successful owl prowl at Blue Heron Park.

This mourning cloak was slipping in and out of the stone wall seeking a safe spot to over-winter at the Olmsted Beil House, Staten Island.

@mikeschnall @DistrictingNYC Manor Heights. Oakwood Heights. Arden Heights. Dyker Heights?

Tune in this morning at 11AM for the most anticipated vote of the fall season. Will we or won’t we vote out draft maps to the Council? It’s Must See TV and you can catch it live on the @DistrictingNYC’s website at nyc.gov/districting

Nelson’s Salt Marsh Sparrow, Great Kills Park, Staten Island. 10/01/2022

68 species of birds (12 warblers) in just two hours in the Chapin Woods. Not too bad. 175 total since July 1st.

International Space Station made a pass overhead. This is the power of my iPhone.

Best thing I’ve read all day. “Adversity doesn’t create character, adversity reveals character. When the hard times come, when your convictions are tested, you will be in that moment the man or woman you had been preparing to be on every quiet day before.” VP Mike Pence
