Meet at the Museum before proceeding to the Nature Trails and Stony Beach Clearing.

Please bring tools you are capable of handling effectively and SAFELY. (NOTE: NO CHAINSAWS)

Driven by popular demand, we will provide heavy duty garbage bags for those preferring to clean beaches (Stony Beach).
OYSTERS AFTER PARTY:
All trail blazers are invited immediately thereafter to a post-clearing party AT THE MUSEUM from approximately 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to enjoy drinks and oysters. Thanks to Fishers Island Oyster Farm, Summer Shuckers and Bottlerocket for their generous repeated sponsorship.
During the post-clearing reception, please check out and enjoy this past summer’s annual exhibit “Against the Tide: Prohibition on Land and at Sea, 1919-1933” generously sponsored by Altus Partners and Chubb.
