Preserving Plum Island for Future Generations: Monday, May 22 6:30-8 PM Ridgefield Library
Plum Island is home to over 200 resident and migratory bird species and to several endangered species and unique habitats. Learn how you can help preserve this incredible public resource from the threat of development. Chris Cryder, Special Projects Coordinator for Save the Sound and the outreach coordinator for the Preserve Plum Island Coalition, will present a short film produced for PBS, “Conservation of a Precious Island” starring Sam Waterston as well as discuss the latest efforts to protect it.
Located in eastern Long Island Sound, Plum Island is slated to be sold by the federal government to the highest bidder. Many organizations would rather see this amazing island conserved and are fighting to save it.
The presentation will take place after a short annual meeting of the Norwalk River Watershed Association which is co-hosting the talk with Ridgefield Library, Ridgefield Conservation Commission and Woodcock Nature Center. All are welcome!
