Landfill Plume Town Hearing Date Change 

The Town of Brookhaven and the NYS DEC will hold a public hearing to present a plan and gather community input on JANUARY 15, 2026 4 PM Exhibit / 5PM Hearing at Brookhaven Town Hall.

Residents are urged to stand together and attend the upcoming  hearing—our voices matter now more than ever. The plume and its forever contaminates are impacting Beaver Dam Creek, Carmans River, our bay and our marine life. This is not just an environmental issue—it’s about our health, our children’s future, and the livelihoods of those who depend on these waters.

When we speak as one community, we are powerful. Let’s show the DEC that we care deeply about protecting our home, our waters, and our way of life.

Be there. Be heard. Be the voice for our river, our bay, and our future.

You know what they say…
Many hands get those ice eaters in fast… and the fewer hands we lose to frostbite, the better! Join the annual party…volunteer help needed Sunday 12/7 at 10am. Big points for volunteers with pickups. Thank you!

Let Holiday Cheer light up the season.
When we choose kindness and generosity, the glow of community becomes a little brighter for everyone.

Join neighbors and friends for a simple, heartfelt gathering that honors connection and tradition. Adorn the community tree with your handcrafted, natural ornaments, savor cozy cider from Troop 4, enjoy treats from Sweet Moments Baking, warm up with cocoa from Jim’s Deli, and take in the holiday cheer shared by the Brookhaven Free Library, and Karin Wagner and friends.

It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and make memories that feel both gentle and lasting with  memories made.

Together, we can extend compassion through our collection drives in support of all creatures and quietly celebrate the true meaning of the season with the care we offer one another.

We hope you’ll join us on Saturday, December 13, from 3–5pm at Fire Place Park(located at South Country Road and Fire Place Neck Road).
Rain date: Sunday, 12/14, same time.
