SUMMARY:Phrag Fight at Westbrook with Seatuck
DESCRIPTION:PHRAG FIGHT! Join Seatuck Environmental Association on Friday\, April 19 and Saturday\, April 20\, as they work to safeguard the unique natural restoration 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 2019\, when its dam (built 120 years ago) failed and the water drained away. \n\n\n\nWith the pond gone\, the brook has 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! \n\n\n\nBut the restoration is threatened by incursion from the invasive common reed\, phragmites. Over the past five growing seasons\, Seatuck staff and volunteers have fought to keep the phrag at bay. We’re winning\, but the fight’s not over yet!  \n\n\n\nTo register\, please click the links below: \n\n\n\nEarth Day Work Day – 4/19/24 \n\n\n\nEarth Day Work Day – 4/20/24
