Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 12, 2023

It’s our last meeting on Tuesday, June 9th before we break for the summer.

Please join us for another interesting and informative walk through our neighborhood as we look at samples of native plantings, learn how to make informed plant purchases, hear about soil education, and get our questions answered. The walk will begin 6:30pm at 450 Pennsylvania Ave.

We will once again be guided by Fred Nass, President of the LI Chapter of Wild Ones, and his team, including Town of Oyster Bay community leader and organic farmer Agatha Martello, as well as other experts in the field.

John and Andrea Howell have graciously agreed to host us once again at the end of our walk for a gathering in their backyard at 450 Pennsylvania Ave.

Questions? Call/text Jill Kaplan: 516-524-4460

ABOUT US

The Stearns Park Civic Association was formed in 1975 to promote and preserve the quality of Stearns Park as envisioned by its founder, Hugo Stearns. SPCA is a nonprofit organization in the Village of Freeport whose members work on a volunteer basis and pay annual dues for association expenses and student scholarships.

We advocate community participation within the Village government, the Baldwin School District and the Town of Hempstead. SPCA helps maintain lawful matters in the interests of the property owners of Stearns Park, which encompasses 553 homes in the Northwest corner of Freeport.

We actively promote neighborhood improvement projects and raise funds for those projects while ensuring the safety of residents by partnering with local government and law enforcement officials.

SPCA is proud to bestow annual scholarships to Brookside Elementary and Baldwin Senior High School graduates of merit.

We are pleased to see that we have built a strong sense of community through the decades, via social and social-action activities, and working together towards our common goals.
