Our Venerable Ancestors….Living At The Beach!

You wouldn’t be a Long Islander unless you stepped over a Horseshoe Crab at the shore! These amazing creatures, which predate the dinosaurs, are estimated to be some 445-480 million years old, making them living fossils!

Part II: June 29: Join us as we take a trip out to Captree State Park for the June 29th full moon and observe horseshoe crabs as they emerge to spawn on the shoreline during high tide before returning to the mysterious depths of the ocean. We will meet at Captree between 8:15 PM and 8:30 PM. Go through the toll booth and bear to the right. (The toll booth will be closed so there will be no charge.) Follow that road to the overlook – we will meet in front of the building. Dress accordingly.

If you would like to carpool with us from the Motherhouse in Amityville, please email [email protected] by June 26 and let us know.

If the weather is questionable, we will decide by 7:30 PM as to whether we will cancel the gathering. Email [email protected] for information.

Date:

Part I - Wednesday, June 10, 2026
7:00 – 8:30 PM, Zoom

Part II - Monday, June 29, 2026
