SUMMARY:19th Annual Thanksgiving Trail Clearing & Beach Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:The Henry L. Ferguson Museum\nPresents the \n19th Annual\nThanksgiving Trail Clearing\, Beach Clean Up\, Invasive Removal\n(NO OYSTER AFTERPARTY THIS YEAR)\nFriday\, November 29\, 2024 \nUPDATED TIME: 2 – 4 p.m. \nWE NEED YOUR HELP! You and your family and friends are invited to join the rest of the HLFM community for some hale and hearty in-the-field-fellowship on the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving. Together we’ll clear invasives from trails\, de-vine trees\, and pick up debris along the beach. It’s a wonderful tradition\, now in its 19th year—as good for the soul as it is for the Island. ALL are WELCOME! \nPlease note that the Oyster Afterparty at the Museum will not occur this year out of respect for the remembrance of Dee Ross being held at the American Legion Post #1025 from 3 – 5 p.m. \nWHERE / WHAT: \nBe sure to arrive promptly at 2 p.m. for hot cider and autumn treats as you get your team assignments and pep talk from Board Member Scott Reid before proceeding to the Museum’s Land Trust trails and beaches. This year we will be expanding assignments to include invasive plant control in order to clear vines on select trails\, as well as clean-ups at several beach areas. \nTOOLS: \nPlease bring tools you can handle safely (clippers\, loppers\, etc.) NO CHAINSAWS. We will provide heavy-duty garbage bags for beach and path cleaning. \nDRESS: \nWe suggest you wear long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, socks and gloves to battle beastly thorns and poison ivy. \nPlease take photos of your team in action and share them with the Museum. \nWe look forward to resuming the popular Oyster Afterparty again next year. \nCommunity members gather at the Museum for the 18th Annual Trail Clearing in 2023. \nFor further information please contact:\nScott Reid\n646.431.8536\nbsr1265@gmail.com\nor\nPierce Rafferty\n631.788.7239\ninfo@fergusonmuseum.org \nHappy Thanksgiving!\nAnd as a reminder if you’re holiday shopping. . .\nThe Museum store will also be open Friday/Saturday and it’s filled with gifts for naturalists of all ages. The large format images on the second floor gallery are for sale and proceeds benefit the Museum’s Art Fund. \nWhile at the Museum\, please check out and enjoy the current annual exhibit on display “A Birds’ Eye View – Aerial and Drone Photography of Fishers Island”\, curated by Pierce Rafferty and generously sponsored by Altus Partners. \nThe Land Trust’s trail system is maintained throughout the year by the HLF Museum and volunteer opportunities are also always available.\nInterested in learning more about invasive plant management? \nTrail guides Terry McNamara (pictured at the top of this page) and Diana Fiske (pictured below) recently led thirty community members on a guided trail walk through Clay Point Road Trail.
