The tremendous success of two day "The Duck Project Charrette" was a testimony to a cross-section of architects, engineers, planners, biologist and concerned citizens who gathers together at Stony Brook Southampton to discuss the future of 500 pristine acres of wetlands and forest on Peconic Bay. "The land, which abuts some 5,000 acres of the fragile pine barrens is vitally important to the entire region as it covers East End aquifers - the source of drinking water"as noted by Brian Bossetta in his recent article in The Southampton Press.
