Save the Hempstead Plains
Save the Hempstead Plains is a grassroots coalition of environmental and ecological organizations, conservationists, scientists and community advocates dedicated to preserving, protecting and restoring the last remaining 100 acres of an endangered ecosystem that once covered 400,000 acres on Long Island.
The proposed $6 billion, 72-acre casino and hotel development being considered for the Nassau Hub (the site of the Nassau Coliseum), will irrevocably damage this precious local ecosystem.
