“Havens Beach is not just a picturesque locale; it’s a critical component of our local ecosystem.”
- Aidan Corish, Sag Harbor Village Trustee
Help fund essential local research
On the East End, our way of life has historically been intertwined with our waterways. Serving not only as places of recreation and relaxation, but also of industry, our ocean and bays play crucial roles in the lives of residents. Sag Harbor, in particular, is a village steeped in its own nautical past and present.
As we look to the future, we at the Sag Harbor Partnership believe that ensuring the continued health and vitality of our local waterways and their surrounding environments is crucial to protecting our community.
For this reason, we have partnered with Sag Harbor Village Trustee, Aidan Corish, to help raise funds for a comprehensive study of the Havens Beach watershed and its surrounding environment.
While the Village of Sag Harbor did receive a partial grant from the New York State LWRP Program, Mr. Corish anticipates that $30,000 more in additional funds will be required as, “unforeseen opportunities and challenges will arise.”
This critical research will help identify the countless ways we can help preserve and protect the overall ecological health of a valued waterway in our community. Havens Beach holds a special place in our hearts here at the Partnership, as we’re sure it does for so many of you, our dear supporters.
Please join us by making your contribution today and be a part of a local environmental conservation effort!
