This postcard shows the long wharf of Southold’s Founders Landing that was partially destroyed by the Hurricane of ’38.Years later, in 1951, the Southold Park District sponsored a bid to rebuild for a price of $10,000.

A meeting was held at the high school and the district populace voted “NO” to the bid.Any information about repairs or removal of the damaged wharf would be welcome!

The author will share his personal story about safeguarding birds of prey on Long Island. For more than two centuries, the bald eagle has served as our national bird, but in the 1950s their numbers plummeted, along with those of other birds of prey, due to widespread use of environmental poisons such as DDT. Some of the efforts that ultimately halted this threat began in Suf-folk County, where local community activism grew into a national campaign on behalf of endangered species and their habitats. The bald eagle’s recovery has involved people from all walks of life, and it shows that each of us has a role to play in protecting the natural world. Members Free; Non-Members $5.
