Thank You for Celebrating Earth Day With Us!

Earth Day weekend kicked off our 2024 season of events this year with a hearty drum beat, as hundreds of East Enders attended and strolled the lawns at Saint Joseph Villa, a retreat and renewal center managed by The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Brentwood along the shore of the Shinnecock Bay. The Villa is also home to the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers who farm the shoreline and Ecological Culture Initiative, a community garden and compost program that has been awarded a Snail of Approval award for its work and practices.
