Seatuck Events
About our Events and Programs
Seatuck hosts both regular, ongoing public education programs and larger annual events. Upcoming public programs can be found in our programs & events calendar. Details about the annual events can be accessed below.
Public Programs
From pre-school outings to adult workshops, Seatuck offers a wide range of ongoing educational programs for the general public. These programs are designed to offer genuine opportunities to experience Long Island’s beautiful parks and preserves, connect to the natural world, and learn about our dynamic coastal ecosystem and the wildlife that rely upon it. Upcoming programs can be found in our calendar.
Annual Events
Over the past decade, Seatuck has established several signature events including the Seatuck Birding Challenge (our island-wide birding event) and the Long Island Natural History Conference. These events advance our mission, introduce new people to our organization, generate income to support Seatuck’s work and/or afford sponsors the opportunity to support Seatuck while reaching conservation-minded Long Islanders.
Conservation Cocktail Party
Seatuck’s Conservation Cocktail Party will bring together supporters for an evening of cocktails, delicious bites, live music, and conservation. Purchase your tickets today and join fellow nature lovers for a festive night celebrating Long Island’s wildlife and wild places all while raising critical support for Seatuck’s work to protect them.
Long Island Natural History Conference
The annual Long Island Natural History Conference is the preeminent event for research and education related to Long Island's natural history. Held in March each year since 2012, the event gathers scientists, naturalists, educators and nature-lovers from across the region for presentations.
Seatuck Birding Challenge
The Seatuck Long Island Birding Challenge is Long Island's only island-wide birding event. Participating teams spread out across the island, from Jamaica Bay to the East End, to find as many birds as possible during a 12-hour window. The event welcomes everyone from expert birders, to college and high school teams, to bird watching novices.
