Seatuck Earth Day Work Day
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 04/21/2023
PHRAG FIGHT! Join Seatuck on Friday, April 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. as we work to safeguard the unique natural restoration that is underway at West Brook in Great River, NY. The work will take place at the site of the former West Brook Pond, which was a man-made pond until three years ago when its dam (built 120 years ago) failed and the water drained away.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
With the pond gone, the brook found its former channel and an amazing natural restoration has taken hold along its banks – seeds long dormant under the pond have sprouted into a freshwater meadow dominated by native plants!
But the restoration is threatened by incursion from the invasive common reed, phragmites. Over the past three growing seasons, Seatuck staff and volunteers have fought to keep the phrag at bay. We’re winning, but the fight’s not over yet! Join us on Earth Day for our first volunteer work day of 2023 as we continue the Phrag Fight at West Brook!
Park only at the West Brook Sports Complex, 1 Wheeler Road, Great River NY 11739.
