Long Island is one of the top 20 most populated islands on the planet. 1,600 miles of coastline. One sole aquifer. Eight million people depending on both.
The Island Keepers are the monthly supporters who make our year-round work possible — funding the restoration, the fieldwork, and the community programs that protect this place season after season.
Why Monthly Membership?
Conservation is a long game.
Wildlife corridors need tending through every season. A monthly contribution, at whatever level is right for you, gives us the stability to plan ahead, protect land when the window is open, and keep our teams in the field without interruption.
Every Island Keeper, at every level, is part of what makes this work hold.
What Island Keepers Receive
All Island Keepers receive the same member benefits. Choose the level that feels right for you and know that every dollar goes directly to work on our ecosystem restoration.
Every Island Keeper at every level receives the same three things:
- Make an Impact: Your monthly contribution is at work every single month: funding restoration, native planting, invasive removal, and community stewardship from the East River to Montauk and Orient Points. You don’t just support this island. You help protect it.
- Field Notes: A monthly newsletter delivered straight to your inbox. Real updates from active restoration sites, what’s growing, what we’re battling, what’s changing. Seasonal stories from the ground. This is what’s actually happening, written for the people making it possible.
- Early Invitations: Island Keepers hear about volunteer days, networking events, and virtual Lunch + Learns before anyone else. First access, every time, because members should feel like members.
From schoolyards to shorelines. This is what consistent support makes possible.
“Together, our monthly members help Long Island Conservancy refine approaches that can strengthen coastal communities everywhere — proving that what works here can work well beyond our shores.”
