Update on event:
Thank you to all who participated on a cold December day to plant grasses and shrubs to protect our Long Beach shoreline!!!
Thank you to Town Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni and Parks Director Kristen Doulos for organizing and working with Cornell Cooperative Extension Back to the Bays and continuing this important project.
The NCC helped rally the troups and was joined about 40 volunteers in 37 degree weather. Thank you to Bridgehampton School’s Environmental Club for your help as well! Everyone did a great job and we got the area planted in an hour!
Stay tuned for continuing this mission with more planting in the Spring - Date TBD.
The NCC beach committee developed a position proposal which we have submitted to Southampton Town. The goal is to establish a recovery and resilience program to protect and sustain the beauty at Long Beach now, and for future generations. Click here to view our project proposal report.
On April 2nd, 2022, volunteers from the Noyac Civic Council, Pierson HS Environmental Club, Southampton Town and Cornell Cooperative joined together to plant grasses and native species to help stabilize the beach, build up the sand to prevent further erosion and wash out when storms surge.
Thank you to all who are helping preserve and sustain our beaches!
