NAPOLI – Director of the Pfeiffer Nature Center Richard White will begin a project which will identify and catalog plants, birds, animals, fish species within the boundaries of the Cattaraugus Local Development Corporation in Napoli.
According to CLDC's Executive Director Rick LeFeber this is being done to determine if any wildlife species is on the American or State of New York registry for endangered species.
The Cattaraugus Local Development Corp is hoping to develop a preserve for wildlife under the Federal Wetlands Reserve Program.
Last year, the organization received a gift from a former developer of Enchanted Lakes, James Zaepfel.
The gift included many abandoned and non developed parcels of land in Enchanted Lake.
The CLDC is hoping to develop the Nature Preserve as well as develop present homeowner sites at the Enchanted Lake Site.
In gratitude for the gift of land to the non for profit organization, the CLDC hopes to establish a Nature Center on the site and name it after the donor James Zaepfel.
The project will entail several seasons of research by Mr. White who is the executive director of the Pfeiffer Nature Center in Portville.
Mr. White's studies will follow the natural progression of the seasons to trace and identify plant species, migratory and native wildlife.
The project is seeking the approval of the Department of Agriculture and if approved would begin a process of developing a Nature Preserve which can be enjoyed by residents and visitors to the area.
The Cattaraugus Local Development Corp is a non for profit organization which has goals of developing economic development, enhancing the natural beauty of the area, and enhancing the increased tourist and recreational activities.
