One of my favorite days last August was when the Island Sentinels had the opportunity to participate in FIConservancy’s “Conservation on Parade”.

The event ran from 3-6 p.m. at the Parade Grounds and was attended by a large number of Island residents of all ages. The day began with answering questions from our Fishers Island Community about being a Sentinel.

Many hands-on educational nature stations were set up for all to visit. My favorite was the close-up meeting with a real owl, sponsored by the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center. 

A great time was had by all…
