Birds of Prey Over Water: Habits and Habitats of Owls and Hawks
Ravensbeard
Join us at Ravensbeard for an immersive workshop exploring the world of raptors that rely on wetlands and riparian habitats. Discover how hawks and owls hunt, nest, and thrive over water while learning about their vital roles in local ecosystems. Participants will have the rare opportunity to spend face-to-face time with live birds of prey and hear captivating stories from Ellen Kalish’s two decades of rescuing and releasing wild raptors. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how aquatic and shoreline habitats shape these remarkable predators’ lives and learn practical conservation steps we can take in the Hudson Valley to help ensure their survival.

How is the Sawkill? Interdisciplinary presentations on Woodstock’s Beloved Waterway
Mountain View Studio
During this event, explore what we understand about the Sawkill through the perspectives of local scientists, stewards, artists, and community members, followed by a community Q&A. Afterward, we’ll invite attendees to join a free stream literacy program, where volunteers will learn to survey stream features at three reaches of the Sawkill beginning in May. This event serves as the kickoff for Mapping the Sawkill, a year-long series of workshops and art that will culminate in an exhibition at WAAM, facilitated by local artist Jennifer Zackin.
