• As more than 100,000 people gathered in Washington, DC for the People’s Climate March on April 29, Sag Harbor played host to nearly 300 marchers, who joined in the effort to fight back against climate change deniers, the potential dismantling of the Environmental Protection Agency and the national climate that has suddenly become hostile to renewable energy. The Beacon’s full story is online here.
• “Keeping the Pine in the Pine Barrens” is the theme of a fire management workshop at Brookhaven National Laboratory next Wednesday and Thursday, which organizers are hoping will bring volunteer fire personnel and members of the public together to learn more about the role of fire in the pine barrens.
