Learn About Native American Oasis Oakland Lake

The Alley Pond Environmental Center is hosting a forum on Northern Queen's urban lake.

Posted by Lori Gross, April 23, 2012 at 09:23 pm

An community forum on Oakland Lake will be held by the Alley Pond Environmental Center in observance of Earth Week.

The forum will discuss the lake's history as an oasis for Native Americans, as well as a water source for historic Flushing Village.

APEC's Educational Director Aline Euler, who will be hosting the discussion, will also speak to the body of water's role in the area as an urban lake.

The event will cost $8, and take place at 7:30p.m. on May 1, and the Alley Pond Environmental Center. Those interested in participating can call 718.229.4000.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, it…Read More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market will…Read More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
