Let’s Find Something Good to Do.
I ❤ the “In The Moment” series at the Long Island Museum.
If you know someone dealing with Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, or dementia these are a great experience for them with people managing similar challenges. Here are a few of our other faves but there’s always more on the website.

Teen Conservation Ambassadors at Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary
Hands-on conservation for teens who want to do more than read about it.
If the teen in your life cares about the environment, here's a way to turn that into something real. The Teen Conservation Ambassadors program at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary in Oyster Bay connects young people ages 13 to 18 with hands-on conservation work right here on Long Island.
Ambassadors attend meetings and events, work alongside conservation professionals, and take on projects that protect and improve local habitat.

Want a Free Native Garden in Your Neighborhood?
ReWild's Community Gardens Program gives volunteer groups free design help, native plants, irrigation and signage. Apply by December 15.
ReWild Long Island has opened applications for its 2027 Community Gardens Program. It's a two-year partnership that helps local volunteer groups build public gardens centered on native plants. The program doesn't hand out cash. Instead, ReWild brings what most community groups find hardest to pull together on their own:
Professional garden design and installation consulting
Native plants, irrigation materials and custom signage
Expert guidance on maintenance and weeding
Help building local engagement and community support.
If your library, school, church, park group or civic association has been eyeing an empty patch of ground, here's a way to turn it into a native garden, without having to raise the money for plants yourself.
PPN Wants to Help People Find Your Nonprofit 👀

Listing is free. We review all submissions and publish what fits our audience and editorial standards.
Hope to see you out there.
There are so many events on the site that we can’t fit in the newsletter, so check it out if you’re looking for something good to do.
If you have a comment or idea just reply to this email. I read them all and appreciate your thoughts.
P.S. — if you know someone who'd ❤️ this, please share it with them. PPN grows when good people tell other good people about it.
