Join the Group, Kenney’s/McCabe Beach Civic Association, and the Town of Southold for a cleanup at Great Pond in Southold. Volunteers will help remove phragmites, an invasive species also known as common reed, to help restore this critical habitat and encourage native plant regrowth.
This event is weather dependent.* Long sleeve shirts, long pants, and closed toe shoes are required to protect against phragmites. Please bring your own tools, work gloves, and plenty of water.
For more information, please contact Group director of environmental conservation Jenn Hartnagel at jenn@thegroup.org.
*Rain date: Sunday, March 15
This habitat restoration project is made possible by funding awarded to the Town of Southold by a Long Island Sound Futures Fund, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant.
