Lakeview, New York - County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi, joined by Legislator Roger Corbin (D-Westbury) and Legislator Joseph Scannell (D-Baldwin) announced today that the Tanglewood Preserve Restoration Project is off to a great start.

"Tanglewood Preserve now sits on the precipice of a new day." Said Legislator Scannell. "I look forward to seeing the transformation of this lovely preserve."

"I am extremely pleased that this project has finally become a reality and that this community will once again have a natural preserve and park that they can all be proud of," said Corbin.

"This revitalization project is a wonderful opportunity to create a beautiful and educational preserve where our residents can come and enjoy Mother Nature right here in their neighborhood," said County Executive Suozzi.

The Tanglewood Clean-Up Project, a cooperative effort between the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums and the Nassau County Probation Department, involves the clean-up of over 3,300 cubic yards of garbage and sediment, the use of current bioengineering techniques to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion and the planting of native wetland and upland plants to protect the newly sculpted pond bank. A nature trail through the preserve will also be constructed with wood chips, low wooden footbridges and educational signage describing the variety of flora and fauna found around the preserve, located at Peninsula Boulevard and Ocean Avenue in Lakeview.
