Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve is a 265-acre nature preserve near the southwest shore of Staten Island. It contains a variety of unique habitats, such as wetlands, ponds, sand barrens, spring-fed streams and woodlands. The preserve is managed to retain its unique ecology and to provide educational and recreational opportunities for people of all ages. Evidences of the Leni Lenape Indians, European settlers and the Free Blacks of Sandy Ground provide a rich cultural history.

‘You chase them away, and they just come back’: Staten Island’s wild turkeys | Then and Now

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — It seems the turkeys have been here forever, first being noticed as a problem around 1996. The Staten Island Advance has a photo of some local turkeys in 1996, and many more as they continued to populate.

 

Before that, they could be found only at the Staten Island Zoo.
