A Gift to the Island- Aldo Benches from FI Students
We’re sending a big thank you to FI School teacher Adam Murray and his group of
hardworking students for building two beautiful Aldo Leopold benches for the Fishers Island Conservancy and the H.L. Ferguson Museum and Land Trust.
These benches were built in honor of Aldo Leopold, a pioneering conservationist whose work continues to inspire people to connect with nature and care for the land. His classic bench design invites quiet observation and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
One bench can be found in the Museum Sanctuary and the other is placed at the Parade Grounds, where it offers a front row seat to the island’s birdlife and open space.
A huge thank you to the students who made this project possible: Kris, Jacob, Theo, Connor, Kyle, Lil, Kyzen, Madelyn, Antonio, and Cyllus. Your craftsmanship and care have added something truly special to these spaces.
If you find yourself nearby, take a seat and enjoy all that nature has to offer on Fishers Island.
