**Missed Giving Tuesday? There's still time to give during the 2025 matching period! Visit our Donations page to make your gift today.**

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity powers Seatuck's work to reconnect our island's rivers and bring vital habitats back to life.

Across the country, river restoration is gaining momentum. According to American Rivers, communities across 27 states removed 108 outdated dams in 2024 alone, reconnecting more than 2,500 river miles. These efforts create real and measurable impact: healthier fish populations, improved public safety, restored sediment flow, and new opportunities for recreation.

Whether barriers are removed or fail naturally (as was the case with Long Island's West Brook and Stump Pond dams), rivers respond quickly. In the time since the West Brook and Stump Pond dam failures, the Connetquot and Nissequogue rivers have become healthier, more resilient, and better able to support a variety of species.

Your gift helps restore our rivers' natural flow, rebuild resilience, and support the return of wildlife across Long Island. And from now until December 31, your donation goes twice as far thanks to a generous supporter who will match all donations up to $10,000! Together, we can keep Long Island's rivers flowing freely.

Thank You!
