continued from 1 still needs to raise $330,000 to meet its fundraising goal. Thanks to three generous challenge gi s, the next $120,000 in donations will be matched one to one.” Once the goal is met, the conservancy will purchase the land and keep it open as a publicly accessible nature preserve forever. To kick off the fi nal fundraising push of the campaign, the conservancy would host a free virtual event on Oct. 27, featuring Marx, from 7 to 8 p.m. A endees would also hear from Jajean Rose-Burney, deputy executive director of the WNY Land Conservancy, about how they can save the Allegany Wildlands. Register online at wnylc. org/events. The public is encouraged to a end the free event, but anyone who wishes to watch must register. Prior to the event, all registrants will receive a link to watch it on YouTube. “Although the event is free, we encourage all registrants to donate to save the Allegany Wildlands,” Semmel said. Six American chestnut trees more than 40 feet tall still survive at the Allegany Wildlands, some of which are producing seeds, Semmel said. Large oaks, a threatened lily called a
White Clintonia, and rare orchids also grow here. Underneath the forest canopy, black bears and bobcats roam the ridges and ravines. The property was purchased by the Sluga family in the early 1800s. Though the Sluga family has decided to sell the land, for the next chapter of this forest’s story, they want it protected, Semmel said. Protecting the Allegany Wildlands represents the fi rst act of the Land Conservancy’s ambitious, decades-long project it’s calling the Western New York Wildway. The Wildway will be a connected corridor of protected lands that stretches from the vast forests of northern Pennsylvania to the Great Lakes, through to the Finger Lakes, the Adirondacks, and beyond. It will form part of the Eastern Wildway which runs all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Semmel said, “The Wildway will allow plants and animals to migrate across the land as they once did, it will allow those that have disappeared from our region to return home, and it will allow those in need to move around to new homes as climate changes.” The Allegany Wildlands is already connected to 7,000 acres of protected state land, nestled between Allegany State Park and South Valley State Forest, and it is a significant link in this future Western New York Wildway, he said. If the Land Conservancy community cannot meet its fundraising goal by Dec. 31,
it could be logged and developed, Semmel said. Marx will explain to participants in the free Allegany Wildlands virtual event the impact of saving forests like the Allegany Wildlands has on the larger Eastern Wildway. “The Eastern Wildway seeks to address this challenge head-on, and we’re thrilled that the Land Conservancy is joining us in our effort to create a large-scale habitat corridor running up and down the east coast,” he said. “The Allegany Wildlands is an important piece of that effort.” The Land Conservancy is looking for donations of all sizes in order to save the Allegany Wildlands. A $200,000 donation will enable the donor to name the area being preserved. Donors can donate online at wnylc.org or send a check made payable to Western New York Land Conservancy to P.O. Box 471, East Aurora, N.Y., 14052.

Stop22 Walk-A-Thon Veterans The rain on October 16th didn’t keep the VFW Auxilary 6472 in Silver Creek from the Stop22 Walk-a-thon in support of prevention and awareness of veteran suicide. Auxiliary President Deanna Borrello was overwhelmed with the response from the community! We raised $1,000 for the home-
less veterans project co-sponsored by Humana Insurance. A ending were the Forestville American Legion, The Girl Scouts, The Sky Riders 4H from Forestville, Auxiliaries from Gowanda Post 5007 and Sheridan Post 6390, Silver Creek Senior Citizens and the Village Town Board. It was wonderful to see
families walking together for our veterans. The walk ended at the Silver Creek VFW where refreshment were provided. A presentation was given by Albert Merrill, Veterans Administration Services. The Auxiliary thanks everyone who took part regardless of the weather!

ERIE COUNTY, NY – The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) is recognizing National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week from October 24-30, 2021. “Lead is a poison, full stop,” said Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein. “Parents, pediatricians and public health are all partners in identifying children who have been poisoned by lead within their home or other se¢ ings with blood lead level screening at ages 1 and 2. Our department’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program works with every family in Erie County with a child who has an elevated blood lead level. Public health nurses notify parents of their child’s results and offer in-
tensive education on the dangers of lead. And, our public health sanitarians assess the properties where these children live or visit frequently, to identify sources of lead exposure and ways to eliminate those sources.” About 3.3 million American households, including 2.1 million low-income households, have children under 6 years of age who live in homes with lead exposure hazards. Even relatively low levels of lead exposure can impair a child’s cognitive development. Children with blood lead levels can experience delayed growth and development, damage to the brain and nervous system, learning and behavior problems, and a host of other health-re-
lated problems. Public health actions are needed for these children. There is no safe blood lead level in children. “Education is the key, on two fronts,” said Dr. Burstein. “First, pediatricians should screen one- and two-year-olds for elevated blood lead levels at annual well child visits, and engage in discussions with parents and caregivers about lead in and around the home, especially if a house or apartment was built in 1978 or before. Second, we want to educate property owners and renters on potential sources of lead exposure, and give them access to resources to make renovations and repairs in leadsafe ways.”
