Overview

Mission Foster a resilient, ecology-based coastal community through sustainable food production, wellness, and environmental stewardship. Initiatives We in Hampton Bays are deeply fortunate that our hamlet possesses a rich ecosystem, cedar shingled homes, and local businesses. These features create our sense of place and identity. The slow erosion of these subtle gifts by increased population density has come at a price: the pollution of our water, the death of trees, the loss of biodiversity, and the rise of tick-borne diseases. As community members, we know we are part of the problem, and feel frustration at the slow pace of change. Part of the solution, the Ecological Culture Initiative, launches simple local projects that result in secure, incremental change. Help us protect the natural beauty and neighborhood culture we love for generations to come! Our Initiatives include: • Organic Farm-to-Table Dinners • Good Ground Heritage Garden • Good Ground Seed Library • Good Ground Farmers Market • Zero Waste / Community Composting Program • Wellness • The Eco-Shack • Pollinator Project • Film Screenings & Community Events • ECI Internships Learn more about ECI at https://www.eciny.org
