The work that The Long Island Conservancy performs is project-based. Drawing from our extensive expertise in habitat restoration, we work with local communities to identify places where we can for instance turn a sump into a bird sanctuary, or clear out acres of porcelainberry, wisteria, mugwort, oriental bittersweet, Japanese multiflora rose and English Ivy, and return to those places the flowers, grasses, shrubs and trees that are native to that place.
We are losing a war we didn\’t even know we are fighting, here and everywhere. It is crucial that Long Islanders in every community take a stand against invasive plants, and rebuild habitat, or we will watch our ecosystems continue their collapse.
With every project we support and endorse, we offer designs, costs, and timelines. What we are finding is that virtually every park has its local champions, and that local stewardship is how so many of these places will be returned to neighborhood. So what project would you recommend we undertake? Contact us and let us know!
