NFEC Earth Day 5K Race and Walk

The North Fork Environmental Council (NFEC) will host its Earth Day 5K Race and Walk on April 28, 2024. Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m., with the race starting at 10 a.m. Participants will receive a reusable tote bag as a token of appreciation for their participation.

The event aims to ‘Save What’s Left!’ with proceeds going towards the 2024 NFEC Scholarship Fund and environmental educational programs. The NFEC is a small environmental not-for-profit based in the North Fork of Long Island with a mission to increase public awareness of key issues, educate the public and public officials about important environmental and quality of life issues, and provide input on key public policies and legislation.

The race and walk will take place at the beautiful Indian Island State Park. The cost to participate is $30 for adults, $70 for a family of four, and $15 for kids 16 and under.

In addition, the NFEC is also looking for volunteer helpers for the Repair Café at Floyd Memorial Library on May 4, 2024, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Repair Café aims to fix broken items together, provide expert advice, and build community. Voluntary contributions for this event are appreciated.
