From Our September 2024 Dinner … John Cryan on Saving the Pine Bush All Over Again

John Cryan, entomologist and co-founder of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, spoke about how we have battled preservation to a standoff; we have a preserve, but it’s in pieces and fragments, and still too small. Development continues. John described an optimistic change of approach to work to protect our Pine Bush.

Help Save the Pine Bush !

There are several proposals to build in the Pine Bush in the Towns of Colonie and Guilderland, and more seem to be coming every day.  Save the Pine Bush needs volunteers who would like to work intensely on opposing these proposed projects.  Save the Pine Bush uses the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), a law that allows citizens to participate in the process.  If you are interested in getting more involved in protecting the Pine Bush, in ecology, in SEQRA, or in stopping development in our beautiful Pine Bush, please contact me.  No special knowledge is needed – only a passion to protect the Pine Bush.  And, I guarantee, it will be an adventure!

Thank you all so much,
