Earth Month Work Days
This Earth Month, we’re offering several opportunities to join in on our important work conserving wildlife and reconnecting Long Island’s rivers and streams. Your support will help us restore the ecological health of Long Island’s abundant coastal waterways and protect the wildlife who call these waterways home.
Join the phrag fight!
Join us as we continue our work to safeguard the unique natural restoration that is underway at West Brook in Great River, NY. The volunteer days take place at the site of the former West Brook Pond, which was a man-made pond until 2019, when the 120-year old dam failed and the water drained.
With the pond gone, the brook has found its former channel and an amazing natural restoration has taken hold along its banks. Seeds that have been long dormant under the pond have sprouted into a freshwater meadow dominated by native plants.
But this restoration is threatened by incursion from the invasive common reed, phragmites, or “phrag.” Over the past five growing seasons, Seatuck staff and volunteers have fought to keep the phrag at bay. We’re winning, but the fight isn’t over yet!

Great Gull Island nest box project
Join us this Spring at the Suffolk County Environmental Center (Scully Estate) to build nesting boxes—a hands-on effort supporting the 2026 breeding season for endangered Roseate Terns on Great Gull Island.
Each year, thousands of terns return to Great Gull Island to nest and raise their young, making it one of the most important seabird colonies in the Northeast. By helping build nest boxes, volunteers will directly support nesting habitat for endangered Roseate Terns and contribute to ongoing conservation efforts to protect this remarkable colony.
