  "projectDescription": "This NYSDEC lead project restored approximately 5 acres of meadow and grassland habitat at the Underhill Preserve in Jericho, New York. Specific project activities included assessment of existing site conditions and habitat needs, site preparation (mowing, disking, plowing), seeding with native grasses and girdling/cutting of trees and invasive management by a number of goats.  Requested funding was $39,225.  The Underhill Preserve is an open space area located within the Town of Jericho. The preserve is co-owned by the Town of Oyster Bay, State of New York and Nassau County and the project was proposed by the Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society. The grasslands and meadows continue to be threatened by invasive species, such as garlic mustard, Japanese honeysuckle and porcelain berry after completion of the project.  Restoration and protection of the biological diversity of this preserve was designed to protect one of the largest contiguous grasslands in Nassau County.",
