Restoring Coastal Grassland at the William Cullen Bryant Preserve
The Nassau County Museum of Art restored coastal grassland and use the restored grassland to educate visitors about the environment at the William Cullen Bryant Preserve, Roslyn Harbor, New York. The project will restore an important coastal habitat of Long Island Sound. The whole area was seeded mid-October 2023 and the meadow growth began in the spring of 2024, although it will take 2-3 years to resemble a meadow. See photos below of the established grassland approximately 2 years after the seeding.
8 acres of coastal grassland restored, 1000 people reached through education and outreach. Grasslands absorb and maintain more carbon within the root system and absorb more water into the aquifer than forests.
