WLT's  Forest Restoration Project

Westchester Land Trust received grant funding from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund (LISFF) to restore Otter Creek Preserves’ coastal forest.  The LISFF grant program pools monies from the US Environmental Protection Agency, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to fund projects that protect Long Island Sound.   WLT has already removed acres of invasive vines and shrubs and now it is time to plant native trees. 

 

Otter Creek Preserve’s forest is a sanctuary for wildlife including over 100 species of birds. The forest is also very important to the health of the Long Island Sound.  Through this project, will help nurture this forest well into the future.
