We will be recognizing the partners who have been working with us to preserve the environment and the history of our community. Post-Morrow Foundation's mission is "to preserve and conserve the rural, cultural and historical character of the hamlet of Brookhaven and surrounding areas… This land to be kept in its natural state as a sanctuary, open space or natural garden". Increased public awareness of our community's heritage, its historic and cultural resources, and open space is one of our primary goals.
Traditionally, Brookhaven has been a community of farmers, baymen and boat builders. Post-Morrow has supported the Hamlet Organic Garden CSA and Deer Run Farm, helping to keep farming part of the community. The Foundation also supports efforts to keep our waters clean and maintain a healthy marine environment which promotes fishing, aquaculture and recreational uses of the Bay. In an effort to preserve our rich history of boat building we established the wooden boat school now operated by the Carmans River Maritime Center.
Some of our partners include the Bellport Garden Club, The Bellport Sailing Foundation, the Bellport/Brookhaven Historical Society, the Brookhaven Village Association, The Brookhaven Free Library, Carmans River Maritime Center, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Deer Run Farms, Ducks Unlimited, Friends of Fire Island National Seashore, Friends of Wertheim, Hamlet Organic Garden, The Herb Society of America Long Island Unit, The South Shore Estuary Reserve, Students for Environmental Quality and the Wertheim Wildlife Refuge.
