Join the Woodstock Land Conservancy for a guided hike at the newly opened Rock Oak Preserve with Miranda Javid, who will share the story behind creating this trail and preserve. This 30-acre hardwood and coniferous forest is home to a canopy of red oak, chestnut oak, white pine, and eastern hemlock, and features a striking rock-cut formed during construction of the Ashokan Reservoir more than a century ago. As we explore the one-mile loop and spur trail, we’ll pass glacial erratics and a scenic lookout, while learning about the site’s layered history as well as the generous support from the Martin family and the New York State Conservation Partnership Program that made its protection possible.
