The Ward Melville Heritage Organization has been offering Discovery Wetlands Cruises since 1995 aboard its 27-passenger pontoon boat, carrying guests from the calm waters of Stony Brook Harbor to the wetlands at West Meadow Creek. A naturalist is on board to guide passengers through this exceptional experience embracing ecology, geology and history. The cruise also includes information on how Native Americans first settled here. Adventurers and sightseers are encouraged to bring their binoculars for a close-up view of plant and animal life and their cameras to preserve cruise memories. The Ward Melville Heritage Organization now includes photography cruises with a 45 minute to 1 hour discussion with an expert from Berger Bros. to discuss techniques to capture the best landscape and wildlife.
The "Discovery" was made possible through a grant sponsored by New York State Senator John J. Flanagan, 2nd District The "Discovery" Cruise Program was developed by The Ward Melville Heritage Organization in cooperation with Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. |
