SUMMARY:Virtual Film Screening and Discussion “Farmscape Ecology” 
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Hudson Valley Farm Hub on Zoom.\nFarming is ever-evolving.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Hudson Highlands Open Space Gone Viral
DESCRIPTION:Scenic Hudson joins the Hudson Highland Land Trust for the latest in their series of “Bringing Nature to You” webinars. \nTrails in the Hudson Highlands area “went viral” on social media well before the COVID-19 pandemic. Now\, with millions of neighboring city residents cooped up inside for months\, even more people are flocking to the Highlands to experience the great outdoors. \nOn one hand\, this is public parkland paid for by the residents of New York State. On the other\, the terrain in the Highlands imposes physical limitations\, creating bottlenecks that can lead to overcrowding and a health hazard during a pandemic. \nRepresentatives from Scenic Hudson\, Hudson Highlands Land Trust\, New York-New Jersey Trail Conference and the NYS Office of Parks\, Recreation and Historic Preservation will discuss how the balance between public access and overcrowding is being addressed\, and answer questions from the community. \nThe webinar is FREE\, but advance registration is required. \nSee this page to reserve your spot.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Paradise on the Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Join the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy for an illustrated lecture by the author of the just released book\, Paradise on the Hudson. Reception and book signing to Follow. ​ \nOn a single day in 1939\, more than 30\,000 people visited the Untermyer Garden—at the time\, one of the world’s grandest landscapes. Thirty years later\, most of the site had been sold or abandoned. Who was the eccentric visionary behind the estate’s original glory? What triggered the garden’s decline and sparked its restoration?\n​\nIn Paradise on the Hudson\, Caroline Seebohm brings to light the remarkable story of a larger-than-life figure lost mostly to history\, and the impact of his horticultural obsession. It is a fascinating tale about of the role of passion in both creating and rescuing one of America’s greatest gardening achievements. \n\nTickets available here. \n\n  \n

This Scenic Hudson-sponsored walk will include brief stops with readings along the way and will end with a reenactment of her famous “Ain’t I A Woman” speech by Deborah Zuill. \nFollowing Zuill’s speech will be an artists’ presentation by Meredith Bergmann and Vinnie Bagwell. Each of these talented sculptors have been commissioned to create larger-than-life sculptures of Sojourner Truth. Ms. Bergmann’s statue will be installed in Central Park and Ms. Bagwell’s statue will be at the entrance to Walkway Over the Hudson in Highland. They will be on hand to give a slide presentation and talk about their sculptures\, their research into Sojourner Truth’s life and the power of art to tell our stories. \nScenic Hudson is working to make this event possible in partnership with: Kingston Midtown Rising\, Midtown Arts District (MAD)\, The Old Dutch Church\, Seasoned Gives\, Harambee\, Metal House Cider and MyKingstonKids. \nSpecial thanks to Ulster County\, The City of Kingston\, and Town of Esopus. \nFree bus service will be available from Dietz Stadium.

For many resident plants\, animals\, and people\, the options are stark: retreat or perish in place. \nThis event will be held in the Cary Institute auditorium.

Books will be available from the Merritt Bookstore. \nAldo Leopold Society member may contact Vicki Doyle for reserved seating at (845) 677-7600 or email doylev@caryinsitute.org. \nRegistration here.

SUMMARY:Where The Wild Books Are: The Overstory
DESCRIPTION:Join the Columbia Land Conservancy for Where The Wild Books Are\, a book club meeting! During this meeting we will be discussing\, The Overstory by Richard Powers. \nGoodreads says\, “The Overstory is a sweeping\, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds\, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast\, slow\, interconnected\, resourceful\, magnificently inventive\, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.” \nLight refreshments and snacks will be provided. For any additional information please email Hannah Schiller at hannah.schiller@clctrust.org to join the list-serve\, or join the Facebook Group.Where The Wild Books Are: CLC Book Club group on Facebook! \n\nMore info here.
