In honor of Earth Day, the Fishers Island Conservancy and the H.L. Ferguson Museum and Land Trust invite all visitors to join
an afternoonof conservation work and community connection.
Participants will meet at the Museum at 2:00 PM to receive assignments before heading out to South Beach, the Parade Grounds, and nearby trails for beach cleanup and invasive plant removal.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring any tools they are comfortable using, such as clippers or loppers. No chainsaws, please. Extra tools will be available. Long pants, long sleeves, socks, and gloves are strongly recommended for protection against thorns and poison ivy.
Following the cleanup, light refreshments will be served at the Museum. A simple craft activity will also be available for those who would like to participate. Race Rock Garden Co. is providing seed pots and soil, and the Conservancy will contribute native seeds along with small seed packets remaining from past Nature Days.
We hope you’ll join us in caring for the land and celebrating Earth Day as a community.
