"The Jewel of the Peconic," Shelter Island abounds with natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities thanks to the community's long-standing commitment to preservation of wild and open spaces.
Mashomack Point is open for a guided walk just once a year. This limited access area of Mashomack — a preserve within the preserve — is dedicated to conservationist Katharine Ordway. It takes place Saturday, February 22, 10AM. Registration required.
Visit Mashomack Preserve and look for signs of life in winter. See what's out and about. Hike, look for tracks, search for birds and learn how animals survive in the cold season.
At Mashomack in February there's a new book in the woods, a chance to see what's active in the dead of winter plus the once a year opportunity for a guided tour Mashomack Point. And a truck tour that looks at the Nicolls family that lived at Mashomack for generations.
Mashomack Preserve invites bird lovers of all ages to Fun at the Feeders, a family-friendly workshop to help you identify birds that winter here all from the comfort of the Visitors Center.
Weather permitting, join the Full Moons Fields Walk at Mashomack Preserve and enjoy a moonlit view of Shelter Island Sound. The event takes place Saturday, January 11, 7 p.m. and is suitable for all ages.
