    Meet Karina Smith – Supporting Events, Outreach and Operations at the Land Alliance

    North Shore Land Alliance Thanks Karina Smith for Her Summer of Service and Support. Karina volunteered full-time with the Land Alliance during the summer of 2019 to learn about non-profit management.   She was essential in contacting vendors and donors for our Annual Wine Auction & Dinner as well as assisting with database management. Karina also participated in community outreach activities. She staffed a table at Stop & Shop in Oyster Bay, encouraging community members to purchase reusable bags through the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program, which honored the Land Alliance in July. Karina was a sophomore at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, with a double major in English and Russian. We would like to thank Karina for her help and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. Inspired by Karina’s Dedication? Join us in protecting and preserving our local natural spaces.

  • Meet Jill DeGroff – Bringing Art and Inspiration to the Land Alliance Community Garden

    North Shore Land Alliance Thanks Jill DeGroff for Sharing Her Creativity and Community Spirit Jill DeGroff began volunteering at Land Alliance Community Garden in Roosevelt in 2018. She began working with Keno Williams, the onsite manager, conducting weekly garden maintenance and distributing food in the evenings for the community food share. This season, Jill could be found at the garden on weekend mornings, before the summer heat kicked in, prepping the sheds for a mural painting. In collaboration with Caryn Allen, another mural volunteer, Jill worked with elementary school students to design and paint beautiful murals of flowers and butterflies on the garden sheds. Jill is a professional graphic designer with Dale DeGroff Co. Inc. and a published author. Her work is currently on view at Stage Left in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Many thanks to Jill for sharing her time and talent to bring such life to the Roosevelt Community Garden. Thank you, Jill, for all that you’ve accomplished for the Land Alliance.

    Heritage Committee 2019 Summer Soiree at the NoMad Hotel

    Heritage Committee 2019 Summer Soiree at the NoMad Hotel On Wednesday, June 19, 2019, nearly 60 people ventured out on a rainy summer evening to attend our Heritage Committee Summer Soiree held at the NoMad Hotel’s elegant indoor rooftop. Silent auction highlights included a four-night stay at Casa de Campo Resort in the Dominican Republic and a stunning marsh landscape oil painting by Diana Beard. The Heritage Committee of the Land Alliance is viewed by the committee’s founders as the “next generation.” This group is made up of people in their 20s and 30s who care about land conservation and have a connection to the north shore of Long Island. Thank you to our event co-chairs, committee members and generous sponsors – Ooh la Shoppe, the Hawthorne Gardening Company and real estate professional Gabriella Schaefer – for helping make the event a success.
