Sustainability


Monarch Butterfly Project

Our Sustainability Committee is working hard to protect Monarch Butterflies which migrate across Fire Island. Join our efforts! Raise caterpillars in your own home during the summer season and release the butterflies they become. 

Email us to sign up for a monarch habitat. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in your family to learn about metamorphosis and our fragile ecosystem. 

Compost Sign Ups

Due to the overwhelming number of requests for a composting solution in Saltaire, the SCA  spearheaded a pilot initiative in cooperation with the Village of Saltaire. Registered participants can drop off organic waste at the bins on Lighthouse by the Maintenance Yard.

Saltaire Library Literature

In 2020, in partnership with The Saltaire Library and Miss Kate, the SCA purchased over 100 books to appeal to both fledgling sustainability practitioners as well as to more advanced experts. There are reading choices for all to take advantage of and learn from. Titles were selected for both adults and children from the following categories: global warming, flora & fauna, gardening & composting, reducing waste, clean water.
