Hike Big Reed Pond Nature Preserve
Saturday, October 12, 2024, 11:00 am
Big Reed, Montauk
Co-listed with Long Island Botanical Society

Led by Vicki Bustamante

Big Reed is the jewel of the 1,100-acre Montauk County Park and host to many rare and unusual plants. The hike will pass through some vulnerable ecological communities including a red maple-blackgum swamp, coastal oak-hickory forest and a coastal oak-beech forest. We will overlook Big Reed pond, a pristine 57-acre coastal plain pond without a house, building or road in sight. The area was the last ancestral home of the Montaukett tribe. We will be on the lookout for interesting plants and birds along the way.
