We engage in conservation through our bird programs, such as our bluebirds and kestrels, and through the preservation of local natural habitats. We advocate for laws and policies that are favorable to our mission.

In 2023 Jerry was captivated by the first Trumpeter swan nest he came upon in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. That initial encounter became a personal project as he documented the 2023 nesting season with still images and videos.
Jerry is an active member of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Photographic Society for whom he leads outings. Jerry is a five time winner of the Best of Show award for the society and his still images have appeared in CVNP's yearly calendars as well as numerous CVNP publications.
