Save Plum Island’s open space and bird habitats!

Save Plum Island’s open space and bird habitats!

The Issue

Plum Island, an 843-acre island at the eastern end of Long Island Sound, has long been the home of a federal research facility. It's been recognized as an important sanctuary for wildlife and native plants, but now the federal government is planning to sell it to the highest bidder. Tell leaders from Connecticut and New York to protect this rare habitat from development and keep it a publically owned wildlife refuge!
