Friends of Flax Pond (FFP)
Recently a group called "Friends of Flax Pond (FFP)" has been formed by local residents of the Village of Old Field, Setauket, NY. FFP was formed to address a growing community concern that the environment of the pond, a local wetland located on the north shore of Long Island, is apparently deteriorating, including loss of fish and shellfish resources, loss of wetlands and declining water quality.
The friends of Flax Pond have organized a winter lecture series which consists of a series of lectures given by local scientific experts who are studying and working to protect the pond. I serve as Moderator of the 2004 Winter Miniseries and as a consultant and advisor to the Friends of Flax Pond.
