Roseann Neuberg is one of our Zena Cornfield Land Stewards, which is convenient since she and her family live at the base of Overlook Mountain. A Hudson Valley native, Roseann was born in Dutchess County and lived for years in Westchester before moving to Woodstock in 2019.

She attended a volunteer event at Zena Cornfield and found a community of like-minded people who enjoy nature as much as she does. “We met so many nice people who share our interest in protecting, healing and rewilding the land,” she recalls. That volunteer event led to others, and she now adds Land Steward into her list of titles that also includes Grandmother, gardener and outdoor enthusiast. Roseann’s also a book lover who enjoys nature-based works. One of her favorite authors is Robin Wall Kimmerer who reminds us that “all flourishing is mutual” — a truism that particularly resonates with her.

Thank you, Roseann, for flourishing in your role as a Land Steward and for your shared love of one of our favorite places. We’re pleased you are our Volunteer of the Month for November.
