EARTH DAY 2026
This Earth Day, Seatuck is offering several opportunities to join in on our important work conserving wildlife and reconnecting Long Island’s rivers & 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.
From now until Earth Day (April 22, 2026) donations will go twice as far. Thanks to the collective generosity of a group of donors, all donations will be matched, dollar for dollar. Please consider making a donation today-thank you!
Earth Day Work Days!
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 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.
With 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!
But 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!

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.
