Heinz Refuge Featured on Fox TV's "Good Day Philadelphia"
Northeast Region, August 17, 2004
Print Friendly Version
The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum was the featured "spot of the day" for a total of 23 weather cuts during the August 17 airing of Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia." Sue Serio, popular weather anchor, did the 30-second to 2-minute spots. They highlighted the refuge, its biodiversity, environmental education programs, volunteer naturalist-led programs, the Friends of the Heinz Wildlife Refuge, and the first annual "Cradle of Birding" Wildlife and Conservation Festival.

Serio did half of her spots from within the Cusano Environmental Education Center, a very "visual" place with exhibits and sustainable design features. She did the second half from an observation deck overlooking a constructed pond and wildlife viewing area planted with over a dozen types of native plants.

Refuge staff member Bill Thomas said that after the morning's live broadcast, several persons called asking for directions and other information on the refuge.
