The Thicklets

We are a group of high school students from Patchogue-Medford, NY. We are on a mission to restore bird habitat in the Fish Thicket Land Preserve. The Fish Thicket is a 100+ acre preserve in Medford, NY that we, as students of Patchogue-Medford, are stewards of. We are working with Cornell Cooperative Extension and hope to increase awareness in our community about our local environment.

• The creation and installation of Screech Owl nests.
• Planting a beneficial garden.
• Cleaning up the Thicket.
• Many community educational events.

We hope to see you at Fish Thicket on East Woodside Ave soon!
