Habitat Restoration at Leeds Pond
The Invasive Plant Removal and Native Plant Revegetation of Leeds Pond Preserve was made possible with funding from the Nassau County Soil & Water Conservation District. The Science Musieum of Long Island worked with Spadefoot Design and Construction to complete the project with the goal of clearing 2 acres of Invasive plants like Japanese Knotweed, English Ivy and Norway Maple and replanting with resillient native species.
Nassau County Soil & Water Conservation District recently participated in the 2022 TICK BLITZ
surveying a collective 1,500 meters of Muttontown Preserve.
The NYS Tick Blitz is a yearly event created by the Northeast Regional Vector Control Center NEVBD. With help from Cornell Cooperative Extension CCE and NYS Integrated Pest Management NYIPM.
The purpose of the study is to study all NY regions simultaneously to understand where different tick species are present and track their northward expansion.
