South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo)- Vineyard Field in Summer: A Vibrant, Grassland Ecosystem

Participants must call (631) 537-9735 for reservations and information about meeting place

Walk Leader: Jim Ash, Vice President South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo) Board of Directors, and Honorary Director, Board of the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt Co-sponsored: Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt and the South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo)

 The grasslands of Vineyard Field, the field behind the SoFo museum, represent a significant and vanishing habitat. For the past seven years, the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt has  made great strides in maintaining, and in some cases restoring the health of this rare ecosystem, which is comprised of ponds, wetlands, wildflowers, and native grasslands, and is home to many rare and endangered native plants, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. On this second in a series of seasonal walks in the Field (the first took place in the spring), join experienced naturalist Jim Ash as you explore this area – preserved by the Town of Southampton – and  learn about its importance to the well-being of our environment.  A third walk will take place in the fall.
