SUMMARY:Arbor Day After NOW Sunday\, April 27th 10-1 at Meadow Croft DUE TO RAIN SATURDAY
DESCRIPTION:As we perhaps know\, Arbor Day is Friday\, April 25th\, 2025.  But as with Earth Day\, we have to ask\, well what about the remaining 364 days?  Can’t every day be Arbor Day?  [EXCEPT SATURDAY.  RAIN FORECAST. SUNDAY\, HOWEVER….] \nTrees work 24X7X365 to filter and oxygenate our air\, and filter our groundwater with their roots.  They feed countless species.  Arbor Day After asks\, “How do I act every day so that we will have our trees at all?” \nThe trees at Meadow Croft\, aka “The Roosevelt Estate“\, are under grave threat\, like so many others on Long Island.  They are being choked out by a host of invasive vines as you can see in these photographs. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Clear Vines Out By Carriage House\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Weed Native Plant Garden (New Fencing Coming via a Scout Project)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Lots of Vines Covering Farm Implements \n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Tangle of Invasive Vines\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Forest Floor Being Choked Out\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				More Invasive Overgrowth\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Understory Has Been Mostly Taken Over\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Time To Clear Some Brush\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				We Will Be Expanding The American Chestnut Grove\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Lots of English Ivy To Take Out\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				All These Trees Will Die …Unless!\n				\n		\n\nThere is about every noxious invasive plant here:  Mugwort\, Oriental Bittersweet\, English Ivy\, Honeysuckle\, Multiflora Rose\, Wisteria\, Tree of Heaven\, and maybe Japanese Knotweed (but we hope not!). \nBring gloves and lopers.  Wear a good pair of boots and a pair of pants that will protect from thorns.  We can make great strides in saving this forest\, but it will take a small army.   Let’s see what we can do.  We have of course been there before several times to help out.  Last Veteran’s Day\, for instance\, when we had 50 volunteers. \nMeadow Croft is located on Brown’s River between Bayport and Sayville\, at 299 Middle Road\, Sayville on the north side\, as you turn onto a long dirt road with water on either side.  We will be busy removing vines\, weeding the native plant garden\, and planting American Chestnut saplings between 10-1 PM Sunday\, April 27th. \nHere is some more information about last years event at Meadow Croft and our work there\, work you will be continuing this year.  Please indicate using the contact form below that you will be seeking volunteer hours. \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n					\n						\n							\n							\n						\n						\n						\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n										\n										\n									\n									\n										\n										\n									\n								\n							\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n									\n										\n									\n									\n									\n								\n							\n						\n					\n				\n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nWebsite\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nMessage\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			\n	\n	\n\n				\n					\n				\n						Submit		\n		\n		\n	 \nΔ
