Come show our wonderful Great Pond some love as we set the stage for the next round of phragmites removal. Training and tools will be provided.
Meet at Lake Court at 9 AM to clean up the area and cut invasive phragmites, to encourage habitat restoration through native plant regrowth.
We will be joined by Southold Town and Group for the East End staff at this event.
Sign up here in advance to reserve your place.
WHAT TO WEAR:
long sleeve shirts + pants for protection against ticks and Phragmites (which can be sharp!) — preferably a light color so ticks are visible/
high socks - each volunteer member will receive a pair of Insect Shield tick repellent socks as a thank you for participating!
hat for sun protection
sturdy work gloves
waders or waterproof boots, if you have them, are helpful but not necessary
no flip flops or sandals. Shorts and short sleeve shirts are discouraged!
