SUMMARY:The Napatree Point Conservation Area: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Illustrated talk by Peter V. August and Grant G. Simmons III\, The Watch Hill Conservancy\nTime: Sunday\, August 7\, 2022 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: In-Person at the Museum\, 2nd Floor\nDUE TO LIMITED SEATING\, IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND “IN-PERSON” PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SEAT FOR THIS PROGRAM BY CALLING (631) 788-7239 OR EMAILING THE MUSEUM.  \nThe transformation of Napatree Point post-Hurricane of ’38 from barren sand to one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in southern New England is a dramatic story of ecosystem resilience. Care of Napatree Point took a fortunate turn in the 1990s when two unlikely partners\, Chaplin B. Barnes and Grant G. Simmons III\, recognized its unique ecological value and importance as a public resource and helped establish the Napatree Point Conservation Area. \nStewardship of the 86-acre preserve is an ever-changing challenge. The barrier spit is heavily used in the summertime by beach goers and boaters anchored off its northern (bayside) shore. Keeping Napatree from “being loved to death” is no small challenge\, as is protecting its many rare and endangered habitats and species. The future of the Conservation Area is presenting brand new stewardship challenges on Napatree – climate change induced nuisance tides\, sea level rise\, dune migration in heavy storms\, and others. We will review the scientific monitoring we are doing at present to guide our future stewardship and management programs. Our mission is to keep Napatree the pristine barrier spit that it is and ensure that the public has safe and reliable access to this special place. \nFOR VIRTUAL ACCESS\, NO ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar: \nJoin webinar\nWebinar ID: 842 7385 6103\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kccta2rImC \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Napatree Point Conservation Area signs\, October 24\, 2018.
