Partnerships are a way to support the NPS and help in operations of this American government agency. We help build strong public support of our National Parks. Fire Island is a National Park. We work to protect the opportunity to enjoy the beach,forest, and historical site of the William Floyd Estate in Shirley. We do look for innovative ideas and increased resources to the work of enhancing the NPS mission.
