Enjoy these highlights from the 2nd Annual Winter Fest! Over 200 people joined us at the restored Crystal Lake property in Newburgh for seasonal activities and a chance to explored this long-neglected natural treasure in the heart of their city. This fun celebration of community and our shared open space was made possible by these local partners who co-hosted the event with us:

POUGHKEEPSIE—Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro has proposed the creation of a new county park offering universal access to trails and boating on 230 acres originally protected by Scenic Hudson. The land in East Fishkill surrounds Lake Walton and is adjacent to the Dutchess Rail Trail.
More than 45 Senate and Assembly members signed a letter urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to work with the state to ensure the cleanup of Hudson River PCB toxins achieves its public health and environmental goals.
