The Accabonac Protection Committee and the East Hampton Nature Preserve Committee will hold a tour of three nature preserves off Springs-Fireplace Road in Springs on Sunday afternoon. Led by Zachary Cohen, the chairman of the Nature Preserve Committee, and Andy Gaites, the town's principal environmental analyst, the tour is designed to enhance knowledge of the Accabonac watershed.
The tour will begin at 2 at the Filippelli Preserve at 976 and 980 Springs-Fireplace Road and continue at 2:30 at the Dodge Preserve, at 1064 Springs-Fireplace Road. Neither site has a street number sign, but a preserve sign will indicate parking areas. The tour will conclude at 3 at the Merrill Lake Sanctuary, which is south of the other two sites and marked by a large sign.
