ECSS: Sweetbriar Nature Center is a private not-for-profit corporation which exists to provide natural science education services for Long Island residents of all ages and to engage in native wildlife rehabilitation services. Through education and examples, ECSS encourages responsible decision making, appreciation, and respect for the unique wildlife and ecosystems found on Long Island.
Sweetbriar Nature Center is situated on 54 acres of varied garden, woodland, field and wetland habitats on the Nissequogue River. Hundreds of species of plants and animals make homes here.
We are holding a yard sale on April 28 and April 29 to raise money to support our mission of providing Nature Education and Wildlife Rehabilitation to local residents. We are looking for donations of antiques, collectibles, knick knacks, and other items under 50 pounds. All should be in good to excellent condition. No toys or games unless they are still in unopened, and no books or clothing. To make a donation call Eric Young at 631-979-63244 to arrange a drop off or pick up.
