ECSS: Sweetbriar Nature Center is a private not-for-profit corporation which exists to provide natural science education services for Long Island residents of all ages and to engage in native wildlife rehabilitation services. Through education and examples, ECSS encourages responsible decision making, appreciation, and respect for the unique wildlife and ecosystems found on Long Island.
A miracle has occurred, and the Governor's revised 2008-09 budget, passed on 2/10/2009 by the Legislature, RESTORED ZBGA IN FULL to its original $9 million. Special thanks are due to Assemblyman Steven Englebright, Senator Jose Serrano, Assemblyman Robert Sweeney, and Sen. Antoine Thompson. These four gentleman fought long and hard for living museums. We have won the first battle, but now we must gear up for the next one, since ZBGA is still zeroed out in the Governor’s proposed budget for 2009-10.
