In 1972, a group of concerned citizens came together to look out for eastern Long Island's environment. Forty years later, in 2012, Group for the East End's full-time staff of professional advocates and educators are still facing and solving the challenges of protecting and restoring nature in our special region. We will continue to address the most difficult environmental problems into the future -- as long as it takes.
Please join us in celebrating our 40th anniversary!
