The Open House on Faulkner’s Island is scheduled for September 8th & 9th, weather permitting. At this time, the USFWS is trying to secure the services of a contractor to install pilings that were ripped out during a storm in the fall of 2010. The pilings are required to keep the floating landing docks in place to permit a safe landing on the island. Because of the tern migration and nesting period, no work is permitted on the island between May 1st and September 1st. As we approach early August, more details will be posted on this website concerning times and transportation to the island if the pilings are in place and the landing docks have been installed.
