What is Long Island’s environmental heritage? What did it look like before the Dutch arrive? What habitats were lost over the course of the centuries as Long Island was “developed’? What can be revitalized for future generations?

On April 16th at 7pm, Marshall Brown, President and Co-Founder of the Long Island Conservancy, will be talking about the history and future of Long Island’s ecosystems at the Cold Spring Harbor Library, sponsored by The Dartmouth Club of Long Island.

If the ultimate goal is to create a sustainable Long Island – how our understanding of local ecology, and building upon work done decades ago here on Long Island, can lead us to that goal. Learn why it is so important to plant native plants and remove invasive ones.

In conjunction with Spadefoot Design and Construction, the Long Island Conservancy has been active in invasive plant removal, and in the planting of natives.

Join the Long Island Conservancy at the Cold Spring Harbor Library, located at 95 Harbor Road in Cold Spring Harbor, on Thursday, April 16th at 7pm.
