SUMMARY:Inhabiting Landscape Workshop Series: Smelly Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:Inhabiting Landscape is a series of workshops and walking tours created by Leslie Ruckman in partnership with the Thomas Cole National Historic Site\, the Greene Land Trust\, and Scenic Hudson. Located at the Mawignack Preserve in the town of Catskill\, NY\, the series explores the many ways in which landscapes are dynamic reflections of their inhabitants. Landscapes are made and remade by relationships between living creatures\, natural\, and unnatural forces.  \n\n\n\nWhile we most often appreciate landscapes for their visual beauty on the whole\, there are a host of other dimensions we might consider. To inhabit a landscape is to be amongst it\, experiencing with your full being. Each workshop will focus on an often overlooked dimension of landscape – soggy\, smelly\, or airborne. The goal is to provide participants with tools to attune to their surroundings and deepen their relation to place. \n\n\n\nThis will be a workshop with plants including a walking tour and weaving with mugwort and native plants. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:What’s at Stake for the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site?
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson River has long been a bustling center of commerce and recreation\, as well as home to abundant fish and wildlife. But General Electric dumped toxic PCBs into this American Heritage River for more than 30 years\, turning a 200-mile stretch of the Hudson into one of the biggest Superfund sites in the country and posing a serious health threat to humans and wildlife alike. \n\n\n\nJoin Congressmen Pat Ryan and Marc Molinaro\, and Friends of a Clean Hudson for an eye-opening virtual briefing where public officials\, scientists\, and environmentalists will discuss the PCB pollution in the river\, the impact on human health and the environment\, what is happening with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the cleanup – and why you should care.  \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
