Protected Wetlands Marked With Anti-Litter Sign

ISLIP, NY - Keep Islip Clean unveiled a new “Protected Wetlands” sign on the corner of Brook Street and Milton Street in Islip recently, promoting the ongoing effort to combat waste and littering in the Town of Islip.

The new sign marks the location of Keep Islip Clean’s first Earth Day event, nearly thirty years ago.

Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, along with Town Councilman John C. Cochrane and DPW and Parks Commissioner Tom Owens, joined with KIC Executive Director Nancy Cochrane, KIC Chairman Emeritus Kay Erwood, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi, and Major Tim Huss, Chief Enforcement Coordinator with the Pines Barrens Commission, to celebrate the installation of the new sign.

“Long Island is home to some of the most beautiful natural sights and green spaces, and the Town of Islip is no exception,” said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “Keep Islip Clean plays an essential role in ensuring the longevity of those spaces throughout all the hamlets of Islip, and it’s critically important that we remain vigilant in the effort to preserve our home’s natural heritage and beauty.”
