Welcome Ben Prigg!
Join us in welcoming our new Stewardship Coordinator, Ben Prigg! Ben joins the Preserve after working for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation, where he led a team that managed invasive species across Long Island's state parks. Ben has a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Binghamton University, where he focused on plant ecology and stewardship. He has a deep love for the outdoors and is passionate about responsible land management and fostering healthy ecosystems, enhancing access to the outdoors for all, and strengthening the bond between human communities and the natural world in which they reside. You can find Ben out on the trails of the Huyck Preserve, or in the office planning his next field excursion.
