SUMMARY:Prescribed Burn at the Parade Grounds
DESCRIPTION:Annual prescribed burn of the Parade Grounds is on Wednesday\, April 1 at 4:00 PM\, led by Chris Aiello in coordination with the NYS Forest Rangers. \nPrescribed burns are a carefully planned land management tool used to maintain healthy grassland habitat\, reduce invasive species\, and support native plant growth. \nEach burn is conducted under strict safety guidelines and requires an approved permit from the NYS Forest Rangers. While New York State enforces a residential brush burning ban from March 16 through May 14\, this project is permitted and professionally managed\, allowing it to take place during that time. \nThe burn will only proceed if weather and site conditions are suitable. With some rain currently in the forecast\, timing is weather dependent and may be adjusted as needed. \nResidents may notice smoke in the area during the burn.

SUMMARY:Shorebird Fencing Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, April 9th for a volunteer fencing day as we prepare for the return of nesting shorebirds on Fishers Island. We’ll be installing symbolic fencing at key beach sites to help protect species like Piping Plovers and Least Terns\, which nest directly on the sand and are especially vulnerable this time of year. \nThis is a simple but important way to support a successful breeding season and protect sensitive shoreline habitat. Sean Wiedemann\, Wildlife Biologist\, will be there to help guide the work and share more about the species we’re protecting. \nWe’ll meet at 9:00 am outside the Community Center. Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves and dress for the weather. All are welcome to join and lend a hand.
