Welcome to the Brookhaven Village Association Web Site |
Following are some of the ways the BVA enhances life in the Hamlet:
The Brookhaven Village Association has offered a scholarship since 1978 to an outstanding graduating senior who resides in Brookhaven Hamlet and who plans on continuing his or her education. Several years ago the award was rededicated in the memory of former BVA member Virginia Brown. The $1000 scholarship is presented annually at the Bellport High School Senior Awards night usually held in June.
The Puleston Environmental Fund is named in memory of Brookhaven resident, naturalist Dennis Puleston. Funds are used to aid in the preservation of the natural beauties of Brookhaven Village and the surrounding areas.
The BVA plants a variety of trees each year throughout the community. Trees native to Long Island are given priority over other species, yet a variety of trees are planted as to improve diversity. Since its inception in 2001, over sixty trees have been planted in the Hamlet
