After learning about these insects, and how they protect grass and plants, kids will make Soil Food Bombs with compost and some special beneficial little bugs. Perfect Earth Project, based in East Hampton, promotes PRFCT (toxic-free) lawns and landscapes for the health of people, their pets, and the planet; raises consciousness about the dangers of synthetic landscape chemicals and educates homeowners, landscapers, and businesses in nature-based alternatives that achieve beautiful results at no extra cost.

Marine Boat Trip:

The South Fork Natural History Museum invites adults and children ages 8 an up to a marine biology boat trip to do hands-on trawling with experts.

Marine life viewed from the shore is very different from that seen in the deep waters of Shinnecock Bay. On this adventure, guests will participate in the variety of activities performed by marine biologists as you trawl the waters of the bay to learn about its biology and ecology. They’ll help bring in, then study, finfish, invertebrates, and plankton. They’ll do benthic grabs to examine the sandy or muddy bay bottom, then do a zooplankton tow and examine these tiny animals under magnification—all this and much more, aboard Stony Brook University’s 45-ft. research vessel, Peconic. Children under 12 must have their own life jackets.

Advance reservations are required for all events. For more information, reservations, and directions to meeting places, please call (631) 537-9735.

Live Music:

The Backyard Restaurant at Solé East Resort is hosting live music and a Lekker Rosé Pool Party on Saturday, August 18, from noon to 5 PM.

As travelers, we tend to pick up new local lingo wherever we go. One of our favorite new words, “Lekker,” has several meanings. It is a common term for anything that is delicious or particularly luscious. In South Africa, it is most often used where Americans would say “cool,” “great” or “awesome!” Now it has a new meaning… a delicious rosé. Either way, you now have some new slang and a new bottle to take with you this summer. DJ Ana will play poolside from 9 PM to closing.

For further information about The Backyard at Solé East, call 631-668-2105 or visit www.soleeast.com/restaurant.

For the majority of artists, the use of color is important and often explosive.

“The minimal decor and colorful artwork is the perfect balance for the new studio,” said Hayley Thorpe, director of NJP. The studio and art gallery opened in June at 11 Bridge Street in Sag Harbor. It has an outdoor garden and three rooms for Pilates and workshops.

Live Music:

Bob Moses will be playing at the Surf Lodge in Montauk on Saturday, August 18.

The Vancouver bred duo consisting of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance, came to life in the Brooklyn underground scene of 2012. Early single releases on taste-making electronic label, Scissor & Thread, lead to signing with Domino Records and the late 2015 release of Days Gone By, the debut album. Meshing guitar licks, a moody smolder and a dash of dance-floor ambience with lyrical depth and classic songwriting, the duo created a sound that appeals equally to club goers and rock music fans.

The Surf Lodge is located at 183 Edgemere Street in Montauk.
