It’s been two years since the dam broke at Stump Pond in Blydenburgh County Park. After the pond drained, it revealed the Nissequogue River flowing through a new successional plant community that has arisen on the mud flats. Join the Land Alliance on a walk around the pond perimeter to see this incredible landscape containing scores of beautiful plant species and animals taking advantage of the new environment.
