On May 8, a Suffolk County park ranger alerted the Village of Islandia’s Code Enforcement Department to a situation involving a possum killed with an arrow in a trap near Sampson Avenue and S. Shafter Street. Code Enforcement Supervisor Kim Davis and Troy Weeks discovered baby possums in the mother’s pouch and quickly took action, rescuing a total of eight baby possums. The Sweetbriar Nature Center accepted all eight babies, confirming they were healthy.
The Village of Islandia expresses its gratitude to Kim and Troy for their exemplary efforts and commitment to wildlife rescue. Their actions reflect the values and spirit of our community.
