Habitat Restoration Projects

Girl Scouts at Skipper Horton Preserve in Greenport, New York

The deterioration of our planet is reversible! When you participate in the Group’s planting and habitat restoration projects you’re restoring the fragile balance in our natural environment and preventing erosion. You’re also rebuilding the places where wildlife live and breed, ensuring they don’t disappear from our area. The Group involves hundreds of school children and community volunteers in these projects on the South Fork, North Fork and Shelter Island.

One of the Group’s major ongoing restoration projects is the work done at Downs Farm Preserve in Cutchogue. Throughout the year, we engage volunteers that help us remove invasive species, plant native plants and other beneficial species for pollinators. Learn more about what’s going on at Downs Farm Preserve and get involved by emailing outreach director Taralynn Reynolds here.
