Freshkills Park: Turning Staten Island Landfill Into Park Cripples Bird Population

Birds Love Trash? Turning Staten Island Landfill Into Park Cripples Bird Population

Unfortunately, Freshkills Park isn't what Fresh Kills landfill once was to bird-watchers. "There used to be more birds when it was a dump," said Susan Fowler, an office administrator, told The New York Times. Strange, isn't it? You would think that the transformation into a massive park and wetlands would bring more birds to the area.
