Responsible Land Management with SMLI

TTPW Board Member Hildur Palsdottir and daughter plant an American chestnut tree.

TTPW volunteers help with ecosystem restoration at the Science Museum of Long Island.

An exciting new project on the grounds of SMLI includes restoring the American Chestnut population. We will establish a mother orchard of American Chestnuts as part of a large scale ecosystem restoration project where we will plant natives and remove invasive plants in collaboration with Frank Piccinini and colleagues at Spadefoot Design and Construction. We will also plant natives like willows and maple trees at Leeds Pond
