Hi All: Once we preserve two small properties totaling about 12 acres we will have preserved all of the Overton Preserve. Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven (whom I work for and run the land acquisition program) have worked in great partnership here. This 560+ acre area provides important breeding habitat for a variety of birds and the n/w area - reverting sheep pasture - is reliable for watching the courtship flights of woodcock.
