SUMMARY:We Must Plant Some Milkweed This Spring!  Come To Plantstock V!  Purchase Your Native Plants Online From LINPI!
DESCRIPTION:For Plantstock V\, we are very excited to announce that not only will we be selling varieties of milkweed\, but also offering a variety of Native Plants through a Native Plant Exchange.  LINPI (The Long Island Native Plant Initiative) approached us to ask how they could participate this year at Plantstock.   As they are set up for online sales of the many plants they have overwintered\, we offered to help them get the word out.  The whole reason we established Plantstock in the first place was to make it easy for people to source quality native plants\, ones that actually are from Long Island. \nSo here it is:  The link to LINPI’s native plant ordering page! \nNote that we are also looking for local boutique growers to promote so that we can offer the native planting community on Long Island the broadest\, most biodiverse selection possible.   Email us at info@longislandconservancy.org or phone us at (516)778-9719 to discuss how you can join the Native Plant Exchange. \n \nThe Long Island Conservancy will otherwise be selling milkweed.  Here is what milkweed can do:  Less than a year after converting an old driveway to a meadow\, we had 40 monarchs come visit one day.  You can help create the same magic in your yard this year! \nJoin us at Plantstock V\, a semi-annual event! The Long Island Conservancy is pleased to offer for sale three varieties of milkweed native to Long Island. These locally grown perennials are essential for supporting the local butterfly population. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help protect our environment by planting milkweed in your garden. \nLong Island’s Three Native Milkweeds\nWe will have Common Milkweed (great if you have an open field)\, Butterfly Milkweed (for dry sunny areas) and Swamp Milkweed (for where of course it gets wet). \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Asclepias syriaca. Green flower buds of a common milkweed.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Monarch caterpillar eating a common milkweed leaf.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Common name: Common milkweed\, scientific name: Asclepias syriaca\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Monarch butterfly on common milkweed  plant\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) blooming in the garden\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Monarch butterfly on swamp milkweed\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Asclepias tuberosa | Butterfly weed \n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Monarch Feeding On Swamp Milkweed\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				A colorful Monarch Butterfly pollinates rose milkweed plants in a meadow.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pink Asclepias incarnata\, the swamp milkweed\, rose milkweed or rose milkflower\n				\n		\n\nThe Milkweeds Are Locally Sourced From Long Island Natives\nThe Long Island Conservancy seeks to restore native habitat throughout Long Island.  We will not be offering ‘cultivars\,’ that is plants produced through selective breeding such as would be sold in garden stores\, but ‘ecotypes\,’ that is plants that are locally sourced and grown from local seeds. \nDo you want to see more native plants in your yard and have a landscaping service?  We will have cards available to give to your landscaping company so that they know to source at Long Island Natives. \nBe A Part of the Solution:  Plant Native Everywhere You Can\nDon’t have a landscaper? Or do you have one that is unfamiliar with native plants? Make sure you get a landscaper who knows their plants and how to care for them.  Do you want to support native plantings as a business?  Be a part of Long Island and plant what belongs here! \nIs your park or public space in need of some TLC?  You can help Long Island look like Long Island should look like by planting what belongs here rather than whatever is being sold otherwise.  Plants from elsewhere — from Asia\, Europe\, South America\, etc — do nothing for local wildlife.   Choose native and build local habitats for our pollinators\, and thus for our birds and the rest of the local food web. \nMilkweed Kills Spotted Lanternflies and Their Nymphs\nAs an extra added bonus\, milkweed it turns out kills Spotted Lanternflies. Our native insects “know” not to feed off of milkweed sap.  Spotted Lanternflies\, according to new research just published by The Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station\, lack the ability to recognize that milkweed is poisonous to most insects. \nThey have also affirmed that milkweed is toxic to the Spotted Lanternfly.  This accords with our field operations.  We are finding piles of dead Spotted Lanternflies around our milkweed plantings.  Please read “The Spotted Lanternflies Are Here\, We Must Prepare!” for more information on this noxious\, destructive pest. \nAs we are reckoning with a infestation of these insects as they make their way east\, it is good to know that we have this weapon in our arsenal. \n \nHamlet Organic Garden Is Where Plantstock Happens\nSo come to Plantstock V\, meet up with fellow plant people\, stock up on our three native milkweeds\, make your yard beautiful\, help the endangered Monarchs\, battle the invasive Spotted Lanternfly\, and enjoy the magic ambiance of Hamlet Organic Garden\, aka The Hog Farm. \nThey are a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm. There will be live music\, fresh made food and beverages for sale. A discussion of milkweed and how to tend it would be part of the programming.   The HOG farm\, in addition\, has a variety of programming throughout the year that supports local musicians and artisans\, native plantings\, and the community of Brookhaven Hamlet in particular.   Check them out! \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

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

SUMMARY:Exploring The Life Underground:  The Fungus Among Us
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the life underground?   Join us for a tour of the subterranean at West Hills County Park!   Trees and plants grow from soil of course\, but what is soil in fact?  It is not merely dirt\, but a thriving ecosystem.   There are billions of microbes in just a teaspoon of healthy soil\, and those microbes are what make all that grows from that possible. \n \nFrank Piccininni\, Co-Founder of The Long Island Conservancy\, will guide us through the forest of West Hills County Park and share his insights into how fungal networks within the soil interplay with the tree and plant populations within the forest. \n  \nFungal networks\nWhat sorts of soil do oaks\, beeches and other native trees prefer?  What happens to soil when it is disturbed by construction\, or by invasive plants or insects?  How can restoring soil health aid us in combating invasive plants\, pathogens and invasive insects?   We are just scratching the surface! \nThe Long Island Conservancy is exploring these connections\, leading us to a better understanding of the life underground\, and “laying the groundwork” for the future of forest management.   Nature works holistically.  Our approach is habitat restoration “from the ground up.” \nThere are a number of scholarly articles on mycorrhizal networks in soils.  Here one such article that is often cited: Dual mycorrhizal networks: their ecology and relevance.

SUMMARY:Long Island's Ecosystems:  Past\, Present and Future?
DESCRIPTION:What is Long Island’s environmental heritage?  What did it look like before the Dutch arrive?  What habitats were lost over the course of the centuries as Long Island was “developed’?  What can be revitalized for future generations? \nOn April 16th at 7pm\, Marshall Brown\, President and Co-Founder of the Long Island Conservancy\, will be talking about the history and future of Long Island’s ecosystems at the Cold Spring Harbor Library\, sponsored by The Dartmouth Club of Long Island. \nIf the ultimate goal is to create a sustainable Long Island – how our understanding of local ecology\, and building upon work done decades ago here on Long Island\, can lead us to that goal. Learn why it is so important to plant native plants and remove invasive ones. \nIn conjunction with Spadefoot Design and Construction\, the Long Island Conservancy has been active in invasive plant removal\, and in the planting of natives. \nJoin us at the Cold Spring Harbor Library\, located at 95 Harbor Road in Cold Spring Harbor\, on Thursday\, April 16th at 7pm.

SUMMARY:Plants:  Native\, Non-Native\, and Invasive Saturday May 16th at Noon at Great Neck Public Library!
DESCRIPTION:Please join Marshall Brown\, co-founder and president of the Long Island Conservancy\, as he discusses Long Island’s native plants\, the non-natives that we often plant instead\, and the invasive plants that now plague us.  Native plants are crucial in supporting local wildlife. As they disappear from our landscape\, so do our bees\, our butterflies\, and our birds\, and much else. Each of us can make a difference in rebuilding our local ecosystems. All it takes is for us to go native. \nJuvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (rchilochus colubris) feeding on a cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis).
