Composting Time in East Hampton Town

ReWild Long Island is beginning its summer composting program this weekend and will collect compost and provide information to those interested on Saturday at the Springs and Sag Harbor Farmers Markets and the Montauk Community Garden. The organization will have tables at Ashawagh Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Sag Harbor market on Bay Street from 10 a.m. to noon, and also from 10 a.m. to noon in Montauk.

The group will maintain those same hours throughout the season, with help from adult and teen volunteers, who will explain what kind of scraps can and cannot be composted.

New Pine Beetle Effort Launched

LTV has launched the Pine Protection Project, an effort to address the southern pine beetle’s devastating impact on East Hampton Town’s pitch-pine forests. The project is a multifaceted approach with a goal of fostering discussion leading to action and solutions, and will include a June 11 panel discussion at LTV Studios in Wainscott.
