West Neck Preserve: Request for Proposal
The Town of Shelter Island Community Preservation Fund (CPF) Committee is soliciting proposals for a landscape plan for West Neck Preserve, a property located between West Neck Road and Nostrand Parkway on Shelter Island, NY.
When the property was purchased in December 2020, it was overgrown with numerous non-native, invasive plants. Five acres were cleared and though management has reduced the invasives, some of the more persistent ones remain.
The CPF committee would like to revegetate some of the cleared areas with one or more meadows that will attract and support insects, birds, and mammals.
