Rise and Shine — All Day

By Lee Sandford

We live in a wonderful little town, whose appeal this time of year is hard to top, with Fall Fests, Halloween window painting, Mistletoe Magic etc. But if you want to appreciate, really appreciate, where we live, and give your physical and mental health an instant boost, head to the Boardwalk at sunrise. (Spoiler alert, this isn’t exactly a well-kept secret. It’s busy down there on a beautiful morning.)

This is not something I ever thought I’d be writing about, not typically being a morning person. I lived here several years before I saw the sunrise, and it was to see the swimmer of my triathlon relay team off into the Sound. I’m ashamed to say that in some subsequent years, I did the approximate math and only showed up at the park closer to my start-time as the runner.

Make America Native Again

By Melissa Brown-Grieco

Our very own backyards can become part of a vast, interlocking sanctuary for native insects, plants, and wildlife stretching across the continental United States and linking otherwise isolated national and state parks. This is the vision laid out to an enthusiastic crowd of over 125 individuals who packed into the Jay Heritage Center on a recent Friday morning.

All were gathered to hear Doug Tallamy, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, speak about restoring nature’s relationships. The event was co-sponsored by the Rye Sustainability Committee and made possible by a grant from Con Edison.
