Great work in the neighborhood by students and teachers from Patchogue-Medford School District!

PATCHOGUE-MEDFORD CLIMATE ACTION CLUB CONTRIBUTES TO LOCAL POLLINATOR GARDENING

Patchogue-Medford climate action club members partnered with the Village of Patchogue Climate Smart Task Force and Citizens Campaign for the Environment for an impactful pollinator gardening event. Students from Eagle Elementary School, Oregon Middle School, River Elementary School, and South Ocean Middle School helped fill bioswales along the south side of Great Patchogue Lake with native pollinator plants. This work aimed to support the local ecosystem and to provide one of the community’s main entry points with brushstrokes of floral beauty from spring to early fall.

3 Headstones cleaned by volunteers this morning- Maria Antoinette Conklin, Moses H. Conklin and one that is currently all but illegible. Stay tuned to see how they improve and hopefully we’ll be able to see the writing on that illegible one. All of these were repaired by Stewart Preservation last year and were now stable enough for a proper cleaning.
We do headstone cleaning Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 10am, weather permitting.
