Volunteer Efforts Help Spruce Up Local Park

Local volunteers come out and clean up Nissequogue River State Park.

The damp weather didn't hold back any of the nearly 60 volunteers who turned out to clean up Nissequogue River State Park on Sunday.

Folks from St. James, Huntington and Nesconset donned sweatshirts and gloves and removed trash and debris from the park.

The park, which is part of the former grounds of the Kings Park Psychiatric Center is scheduled to undergo a much larger make over in May structures will be removed from the property.

Apparently you are not the only one this is happening to. From what I understand if these signs areRead More on a main drag somehow they are disappearing in the middle of the night. Hmmm, now I wonder who or what organization could be doing this illegal act? I'm not going to make an educated guess who could be involverd in this deed but I think if Kings Parkers do some research they are smart enough to figure out who does not want the real facts of the "Uplands Project" to come to light. Displaying these signs is a way of making the public aware of the atrocity of this project. Questions will then be asked. Making a night run to remove them is, at the least, a cowardly act that should be publicized every time it occurs!
