Some EXCELLENT NEWS! Now there's a real good chance we can save these Pine Barrens in Calverton FOR GOOD!

The decision comes just a day after the Riverhead Town IDA said that Calverton Aviation & Technology did not have the money to complete their planned project on the EPCAL (Enterprise Park at Calverton property).

I find it very interesting that the Long Island Pine Barrens Society was nowhere to be seen in this story. Thanks to all those who turned out to speak up against this project.

Residents told News 12 they are against the proposed development at the old Grumman property in Calverton, known as the Enterprise Park at Calverton or EPCAL, because they believe it would negatively impact their home values.

Very Important Action Alert. This is your chance to speak up about the proposed CARGO AIR HUB that will destroy much of the Long Island Pine Barrens as we know it in the Calverton area. We cannot let them get away with this!

We are grateful for your support to protect 1,000 environmentally sensitive acres at EPCAL from sale to Calverton Aviation & Technology (CAT). It turns out that the only way to truly save this precious land is to stop the whole discredited deal. Otherwise, the Ghermezian family plans to build an...

Horrifying destruction of one of the last vast areas of the Pine Barrens. Sadly looking at the comments most people are more worried about drag racing and the financial hit to the Town.

Calverton Aviation & Technology's attorney said in September his client hoped to gain approval from the IDA by the end of 2022 or early in 2023. Five months later, it's not clear whether the IDA'

I'm afraid Napeague may be lost 😢😭

BY MICHAEL WRIGHT As the blight of southern pine beetles sprawls across the pitch pine forests of Napeague, steadily browning out areas that should be evergreen, New York State is planning a new tactic to try to halt the spread of the pests before th

Wildfires and infestations threaten the forest (and filter) above the aquifer.

This project at EPCAL just looks worse & worse. Mega Cargo Jetport in the Long Island Pine Barrens. Sounds familiar, doesn't it. That's because such a project was once planned in New Jersey, but people quickly put a stop to it & created the Pinelands National Reserve. But will we see the same in New York? I don't hold out much hope since all those in power here seem to owe their allegiance to Wall Street.

The Calverton Enterprise Park will fill the need for a regional air cargo logistics hub on Long Island, representatives of Calverton Agency & Technology told the Riverhead IDA in a presentation last…

Lets face it, between the Beetles, lack of prescribed fires, and this project at EPCAL moving forward we're losing the Pine Barrens.

A proposal to develop a former Grumman facility on the East End into a technology hub could be in the works, but some say cargo planes could also be coming to the area.

We are losing the battle to save the Pine Barrens as the beetles continue to spread due to the lack of FIRE. 10% of Napeague State Park has been infested and 3,000 trees had to be felled today. It wouldn't have come to this had New York State devoted the money and resources for a controlled burn plan. 100 acres a year isn't going to save these woods. In comparison, New Jersey burns 20,000-25,000 acres each year.

An invasive insect forced thousands of trees to be torn down on the East End.
