Spring Celebration Event at Sands Point Preserve

Senator Elaine Phillips, Member of the NYS Senate Task Force on Lyme & Tick Borne Diseases is partnering with the Sands Point Preserve at their annual "Spring Celebration Event" to bring awareness/education to the signs, symptoms & proper removal of ticks on children, adults and animals. 

Local Pediatrician, Dr. Joseph C. Licata will speak at 2:00pm 

Annual Spring Celebration Event:
Every season brings beautiful changes to the Preserve’s landscape, and, in springtime, we celebrate the return of longer days, warmer temperatures – and budding trees, shrubs, and perennial plants. While these blooms occur naturally, we have much work to do to plant colorful annuals, fresh herbs, and plants to attract butterflies. 

At the Spring Celebration, visitors are invited to help with these plantings! Children can enjoy outdoor activities and a range of projects, including creating bird feeders, acorn pendants, and more.
