The Calverton Grasslands, the largest grasslands on Long Island, are still threatened with destruction through development. The Coalition for Open Space at EPCAL says that the ““current development proposals, including the largest development proposal ever on the East End, threaten 800 acres of rare grassland habitat as well as portions of the Long Island Pine Barrens, SC Special Groundwater Protection Area, the Peconic Estuary watershed and the Long Island Sound watershed.” A debate on the development issue is scheduled for November 10. See the coalition’s website for more information.
