Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to he

Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to help clear the Museum Land Trust's trails and beaches last Friday after Thanksgiving. It's a great tradition, organized by Scott Reid, where teams spread out across the Museum Land Trust's 13 nature trails and Stony Beach to clear invasives and fallen branches from the path and pick up plastics that have washed ashore. We appreciate Fishers Island Oyster Farm, Summer Shuckers, Bottlerocket, and Fishers Island Lemonade for their generous sponsorship of this festive Island tradition. Stay tuned for information about this year's Holiday Open House at the Museum - we'd love to see you there!
