SUMMARY:FIND 2025 (MORNING PROGRAM)
DESCRIPTION:FISHERS ISLAND NATURE DISCOVERY\n2025 – The 6th Year of FIND\nA Week (5 DAYS from 9 AM to NOON) of Learning Programs for Young Island Naturalists Ages 5 to 10. \nFIND offers a week of learning programs for young Island naturalists on a variety of environmental topics relating to the natural history and stewardship of our Island.\nUsing the Ferguson Museum as a base\, the programs provide an indoor/outdoor learning experience that introduces our children to the Island’s natural resources and some of the challenges faced in maintaining its fragile ecology. Led by educators\, the children discover the Island’s natural history through a combination of hands-on exploration\, observation\, and interpretation. \nWHEN: The 2025 FIND program will run for one week from August 11 to August 15; Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to noon. \nWHO: 20 children max\, all between the ages of 5 to 10. Depending on numbers\, attendees will either be in one group\, or split into two groups by age. \nEach group will be led by educator/s from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center (DPNC)\, assisted at times by Museum staff and guest naturalists. \nWHERE: Outdoor locations will vary based on the daily plan\, but will include Fishers Island’s beaches\, woods\, and ponds. Indoor learning will take place at the Museum and will include art and science projects related to the daily subject matter. \nCOST: The cost per participant is $400 for the week. To promote group cohesion and learning\, we encourage all participants to attend all five sessions. \nREGISTRATION: Please call the Museum (631-788-7239) or e-mail info@fergusonmuseum.org to reserve a spot for your child/children (and note the FIND program and the name and age of the attendee/s). The registration and payment form will then be sent to you. \nThis is a wonderful opportunity for young children to develop a love of nature and ecology through participatory learning both at the Museum and in the field.

SUMMARY:Rewild Your Yard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illustrated talk by naturalist Murray Fisher to learn about his effort to “rewild” half of his yard in Westchester County and the transformation experience it has been for him and his family. \nWHEN: Tuesday\, August 12\, 2025\nTIME: 5:30 pm\nPLACE: In person at the FI Library \nAt 60 million acres\, the American lawn is the largest and most intensely managed “crop”. Murray’s goal is to help others see the immense opportunity these lawns provide for not only creating habitat for wildlife and sequestering carbon but for fostering deep connections to the natural world. \nMurray is the co-founder of the New York Harbor School and the Billion Oyster Project\, a Trustee of the H.L. Ferguson Museum\, and a partner in Plan it Wild. \nThe program is co-hosted by the Fishers Island Library.
