The Post-Morrow Foundation is working with the DEC to administer a plan to reduce the Phragmites infestation in several areas along the Beaver Dam Creek. These photos are of the freshwater wetland area along Bay Road just to the south of the main Post-Morrow headquarters.

The Foundation received assistance in this planting from Students for Environmental Quality at Bellport High School. The Phragmites has been cut and reduced in the area and it is our hope that the planting will restore the area to its original condition.

Some of the shrubs planted include: Buttonbush, Arrow Wood, Elderberry and Silky Dogwood.

Also included in the seed mix is: Blue Vervain, Joe Pye Weed, Many-leaved bulrush, Fringed sedge, Nodding Bur-marigold, Swamp Milkweed, Blue Iris, Flat-top White Aster, Bladder Sedge and Arrow arum.

We are grateful for the support of the SEQ who have been friends of the Foundation for many years.
