Ecosystem Restoration at the Science Museum of Long Island w/Frank Piccininni 12/8/22 PWPL Lecture
#portwashington, #sciencemuseumoflongisland
The Port Washington Public Library hosted a special presentation on the stewardship and restoration efforts of the 36-acre Leeds Pond Preserve at the Science Museum of Long Island (SMLI). The grounds of the Science Museum include beautiful habitats, with mid-to-late successional forest of oaks, maples, beech and tulip trees and is currently at risk of compromise because of the beech leaf disease and other invasive pests. This presentation was given by Frank Piccininni, who is founder of Spadefoot Design and Construction and co-founder of SMPIL Consulting Ltd., both of which specialize in habitat restoration. With a focus on adaptive management Mr. Piccininni explores initiatives aimed at restoring the ecological health of the grounds, supporting wildlife habitats and wetland ecosystem function. He highlighted techniques for invasive species management and introduced strategies for reducing the prevalence of harmful, non-native and invasive species. These restoration efforts aim to regenerate disturbed woodlands and turn them into thriving ecosystems, which will offer a nature sanctuary for future generations to enjoy.
