WLC Events
A critically important gateway to the Catskill Park is being threatened by a proposed steel and concrete fabrication plant in the Town of Kingston! An application filed by 850 Route 28 LLC to build this facility raises multiple questions about how to conduct a fair and comprehensive environmental review under New York’s State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). Catskill Mountainkeeper and Woodstock Land Conservancy (WLC) hosted a webinar Thursday, May 27 to explore how the SEQRA process should proceed, and how citizens can use SEQRA to hold 850 Route 28 LLC accountable.

Woodstock Pollinator Pathway
Woodstock School of Art Pollinator Garden Tour with Del Orloske
Saturday, June 19th
9:30 - 11 am
Last Autumn The Woodstock Pollinator Pathway held a native seed exchange at the Woodstock School of Art and had a tour of the Pollinator/Rain garden that was installed just weeks ahead of that event. Now you can come and re-visit the garden to see it in its full glory. Ecological Landscape Designer - Del Orloske will give a tour of the garden. Come learn about what a rain garden is and how the garden attracts our precious pollinators. We'll also discuss how we were able to successfully keep deer and rabbits away without fencing the entire area.
The tour will be limited to 15 people

Join Ellie WLC Program & Outreach Coordinator for our newest program series
"A Walk With Friends"
Our next walk will be a stroller-friendly walk at the Ashokan Rail Trail on June 22nd at 10 am.
The pandemic has been hard on all of us, and especially hard to be social with old and new friends. We have kept our social circles small to protect our health and well-being. As our community begins to open back up we'd like to reconnect people comfortably in the outdoors. Join Ellie Reese, WLC's Program and Outreach Coordinator, to take a small group walk at one of our beautiful preserves, and in the safest way possible - outdoors! Whether you are new to the area or you have been here for years, together we can connect with our friends and neighbors while enjoying the beauty of our surroundings. In doing so we support our great community.
A Walk With Friends will meet twice a month, on a Tuesday morning, and visit a WLC preserve or area walking path for a casual friendly walk. Bring a bottle of water, wear your sneakers and join Ellie to explore new personal connections and the outdoors.
If you'd like to join the walk email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more details.

Founded in 1988 by a dedicated group of local citizens, the Woodstock Land Conservancy is a non-profit land trust. We are run by a small staff and an all-volunteer Board of Directors. At its core, WLC is an ever-growing community of dedicated and generous volunteers, supporters, and community members who share a passionate love and respect for the land and the unique place we live. WLC owns and manages undeveloped land and works with landowners to permanently protect their property through conservation easements and by acquiring their land through donation or sale. We also provide nature education and outdoor activities to the community. Because we operate in the public interest, WLC depends on private donations to carry out its work. It is our strong foundation in the community that makes it possible to protect land that otherwise would be lost forever. This email address is being protected from spambots.
