Help Save This Land Today!

The DeForest Williams property on Shore Road is one of the last remaining large tracts of open space in Cold Spring Harbor. If this 42 acre property were to be developed, it would change the view, and overall feel of Cold Spring Harbor. Development of this land could also result in negative impacts on water quality as well as jeopardize vital bird habitat. The North Shore Land Alliance believes that this property should be protected for the Cold Spring Harbor community as The Wawapek Preserve.

The North Shore Land Alliance and Cold Spring Harbor Civic Association believe that this entire property can be permanently preserved with financial support from the community, along with funds provided by the Town of Huntington and Suffolk County.
