elcome to the Labor Day issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. I hope that everyone has been enjoying a great summer. It’s hard to believe that we

are only a couple of weeks away from the Labor Day holiday.

It goes without saying that it has been a summer unlike any other here on the North Fork. But we have all made the best of it, and are grateful for the wide open spaces and fresh air during these unprecedented times. The North Fork is truly a year round refuge for everyone who has the good fortune to live or visit here.

Featured on this month’s front cover, Judi Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate presents a once in a lifetime waterfront opportunity on Shelter Island. Two single and separate parcels

feature a main house with private dock, guest house, pool and spa, along with a separate custom home with its own private boat basin and pond, plus tennis. Both properties are also available to be purchased individually, or together to form a compound. Reminiscent of the best New England estates, there is nothing else like this on the market today.

Also in this issue, be sure to check out Leila Jones’ “Inside Job,” featuring ideas on designing a home office for the post-pandemic world; Anne Halpin’s “Your Tropical Paradise,” for creating a tropical getaway in your garden to extend your summer enjoyment; Hannah Selinger’s “East End Eats,” telling us to be sure to visit our North Fork farm stands in time to enjoy the late-summer

Next, bold foliage adds lushness to the middle ground. There are elephant ears (alocasia and colocasia) and split-leaf philodendron for a shady spot, gingers, ornamental bananas, bird of paradise and canna lilies with their stalks of big, bold lily-like flowers in hot shades of red, orange and yellow for brighter places.

For nonstop color dahlias are hard to beat. They come in several forms and sizes, and a host of warm colors from pastels to brights. Cut off spent blossoms, water when needed and they will bloom all summer until fall frost shuts them down.

During this past year, AMSEAS has responded to more than 200 animals, including 14 large whales, 30 other cetaceans, 132 seals, and 50 sea turtles from Montauk and Orient Point to Manhattan. During aerial surveys, they have documented grey seals hauling out on eastern Long Island during the summer. They have also satellite tagged and tracked grey seal pups from Massachusetts and Delaware to Canada, and everywhere in between, and conducted more than 45 beach monitorings and cleanups.
