The Nature Conservancy recently held its Soirée for the Sound, a fundraiser held at the Creek Club in Locust Valley, New York.

Participants enjoyed an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and desserts while enjoying panoramic views of the beautiful Long Island Sound.

The Nature Conservancy is using its 55 years of experience in science-based conservation, habitat restoration, innovative deal-making, consensus-building and community partnerships to ensure the Long Island Sound remains a home for people, and all of the plants and animals that depend on its waters for life.
