Here's a look at what's happening in Riverhead on Wednesday.

Griffing building in the Riverhead County Center. The exhibit explores the rich past of Long Island’s key wilderness area. Topics explored include the glacial origin of the Pine Barrens during the last Ice Age and the dry, acidic and nutrient-poor soils found in much of the area which helped shape the types of habitats found there.
