Advocate. Conserve. Educate. That has been the mantra of Group for the East End for 50 years. The Southold-based nonprofit has dedicated five decades to fighting for the protection and conservation of Long Island’s East End. Now it looks to take on the most pressing environmental issue: climate change. Founded in 1972, Group for the East End’s environmental advocacy projects have shaped what the region looks like today. Over the years, it has developed and implemented land preservation strategies, helped establish the Peconic Estuary Program, supported legislation that designated over $2 billion toward land and water protection and even helped bring Long Island’s osprey population back from the brink of extinction.
