After many canoe trips on the Peconic River, George Bartunek became interested in the historic purposes for the building of the numerous dams along the course of the river. He will share with the group what he uncovered about long forgotten history of the many commercial operations along the Peconic River and how the river was the essence for the founding of Riverhead.
Thursday, May 14, 2020, 6:30pm – Wes Triani, Local Naturalist/Boy Scouts outings leader, Leave no Trace
Wes brought the concept to local Boy Scout groups on Long Island after visiting the Wisconsin home of conservationist and co-founder of the Wilderness Society, Aldo Leopold. Leave no trace has a mission to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors, but to take only pictures and leave only footprints and to even pick up garbage left by other, less considerate hikers. This is in keeping with Aldo Leopold’s land ethic/stewardship principles. More info: lnt.org
