Sound artist Zaneta furthered her collaboration with Woodstock Land Conservancy through her "Sounds of the Solstice" program. The hour-long program, which originally aired on Wavefarm Radio in December, draws from field recordings at WLC's Israel Wittman Sanctuary.

As part of our 2026 program theme "Ecologies of Water," WLC is excited to present “Know Your Watershed,” a monthly series designed to deepen our understanding of water in the Woodstock and eastern Catskills areas. Be sure to check back during the first week of each month to learn with us.

The Woodstock Land Conservancy and KATrail.org are partnering with the Center for Photography Woodstock to showcase art from the ART -- the Ashokan Rail Trail. Photo submissions in three categories will highlight the landscapes, flora and fauna, and happy faces on the trail. The contest is open from Nov. 19 to Jan 31. The exhibit of the photos will run March 7 - April 5 with an opening exhibition event March 7.

The Woodstock Land Conservancy's support for extending a shared-use rail trail through the undesignated section of the U&D Corridor from the Ashokan Rail Trail to Kingston received coverage in the November issue of the Chronogram.

Two of our preserves with public trails served as interactive classrooms for dozens of outdoor enthusiasts who were brought to the Hudson Valley by national retailer REI. They took a geological tour at Sloan Gorge and identified mushrooms at Israel Wittman Sanctuary before discussing the Leave No Trace concepts.

Woodstock Land Conservancy is thrilled to have been selected as the top Environmental Organization of the Year by Chronogram readers!

Our staff is proud to honor a volunteer each month for dedicated service to our stewardship initiatives, educational programs, advocacy campaigns and/or special events.
