John Sargent’s paintings will be displayed from October 2 to October 27 at the Lyme Public Library. John Sargent and his family are lovers of the natural world who were instrumental in the acquisition of  the Lyme Land Trust’s Walbridge Woods Preserve.

Plum Island lies just 7 miles off Connecticut’s coast in eastern Long Island Sound. It is home to the nation’s foreign animal disease center, as well as several endangered species and unique habitats, and is soon to be sold to the highest bidder.  But, many organizations would rather see the amazing island conserved.  Come learn about current efforts to protect it.

Save the Sound is a bi-state program of CT Fund for the Environment, based in New Haven, CT. Chris Cryder has been working for Save the Sound for the past 8 years, and is currently the outreach coordinator for the Preserve Plum Island Coalition.
