What is the Oblong?

Presented by Town Historian Maureen Koehl, in-person at the Library.
What or where exactly is The Oblong? Get the facts and background on this disputed area of land delineated as 20 miles east of the Hudson River and extending from Long Island Sound to the Massachusetts border. It includes land traded between the New York and Connecticut colonies beginning in the 18th century and finalized in the 20th century. What was it like to be traded back and forth between colonies?

The introduction, spread, and management of invasive species is heavily influenced by the actions of citizens who live, work, and recreate on NY’s public and private lands and waterways. Education and outreach about invasive species increases awareness and knowledge, which are necessary precursors to behavior changes that could reduce risks throughout the State.

“Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species” is an engaging one-hour documentary which focuses on invasive species and highlights those that are threatening our environment and economy, while also showing innovative ways of combating these threats through the NYS Department of Conservation’s collaborative work with its partners. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Brent Boscarino, PhD, Coordinator, Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management.

Presented by the Lewisboro Land Trust, the Lewisboro Garden Club and the Lewisboro Library.
Due to Covid precautions, space will be limited to allow for social distancing and participants are required to wear masks. The event is free. Please register HERE.
