SUMMARY:Evaluating Habitat Recovery on Fishers Island by Tyler McMahon | July 17 @ 5:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:Join Us: An Evening with FIRST Researcher Tyler McMahon\n Friday\, July 17 | 5:30 PM | Fishers Island Community Center \nPlease join the Fishers Island Conservancy for a special community program featuring FIRST (Fishers Island Research & Survey Team) researcher Tyler McMahon on Friday\, July 17th at 5:30 PM at the Fishers Island Community Center. \nTyler will be presenting his PhD proposal defense titled Evaluating Ecological and Social Outcomes of Long-Term Habitat Restoration on Fishers Island\, New York\, a study that takes a close look at how restoration work happening right here on Fishers Island is shaping local biodiversity and community engagement with conservation over time. \nHis research brings together arthropod sampling\, bird surveys\, and public outreach assessment to explore whether restoration efforts are not only improving ecological communities\, but also deepening public support for conservation. It is a question that connects the science happening in the field directly to the community that calls this island home. \nThis is a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from the researcher doing this work and to learn more about what long-term restoration looks like on Fishers Island. All are welcome and we hope to see you there! \nFor more information contact the Fishers Island Conservancy at [annarwfic@gmail.com]

SUMMARY:Bug Night | July 17 @ 9:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:Bug Night | Friday\, July 17 | 9:30 pm | Parade Grounds \nCurious about the creatures that come out after dark? Join entomologist and PhD student Tyler McMahon\, along with the 2026 FIRST team\, for a relaxed evening of insect discovery at the Parade Grounds. \nWe’ll be setting up large white sheets and vapor lamps to draw in all sorts of fascinating visitors\, from moths and beetles to whatever else the night brings. You’ll learn about their unique behaviors and have the chance to take part in our annual biodiversity survey\, which helps us track native plant life and measure how well the island’s habitats are recovering over time. \nDrop by anytime starting at 9:30 PM at the Parade Grounds. Whether you consider yourself a serious bug enthusiast or you’re simply a little curious\, this is a fun and easy way to experience the island’s nature after hours. Bring a friend\, bring your curiosity\, and let’s see what shows up under the lights! \nThis event is hosted by the Fishers Island Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Gathering Growth: Working to Visually Preserve the Legacy of Significant Trees | July 31 @ 5:30PM
DESCRIPTION: Friday\, July 31 | 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM  | At the Museum\, 2nd floor and virtual\, via zoom \nJoin the Fishers Island Conservancy and the HL Ferguson Museum for a presentation by photographer Brian Kelley on his work documenting the oldest and largest trees in the U.S. through Gathering Growth Foundation. Friday\, July 31\, 5:30 PM at the Museum. \nKelley is dedicated to visually preserving the legacy of trees and forests while raising awareness about their protection. In 2019\, he founded the Gathering Growth Foundation to expand his work beyond champion trees\, building a growing archive of significant trees and forest landscapes across the United States. To date\, the foundation has documented over 1\,300 trees and is currently completing its first publication\, Gathering Growth Vol. 1: New York. \nRooted in the belief that conservation is as much cultural as it is scientific\, Kelley’s work seeks to create a deeper public connection to the natural world. His images serve not only as documentation\, but as acts of remembrance\, grounded in the idea that before a landscape can be protected\, it must first be known\, and before it can be known\, it must be remembered. \nBrian Kelley received his BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts. He is dedicated to visually preserving the legacy of trees and forests while raising awareness about their protection. Kelley’s extensive work in still-life photography continues to support his artistic pursuit of contributing to the cultural archive of American ephemera and landscape\, including other long-term projects such as The National Park Service Brochures Archive and the Archive of NYCTA Artifacts. Kelley was born in Horseheads\, NY\, and currently lives in Lumberland\, NY. \nThis program is co-hosted by the Fishers Island Conservancy and the Henry L. Ferguson Museum. \n \n \n  \n
