PROGRAMS AND EVENTS: SPECIAL EVENTS

SPECIAL EVENTS

We strive to provide special events for our community throughout the year including our two annual celebrations: Vernal Fling and Scarecrow Fest. You won't want to miss either, so check back often for updates.

Woodstock Land Conservancy’s annual spring fundraiser was held May 17, 2025.

Every year we bestow The William R. Ginsberg Stewardship Award to a member or members of our community for their outstanding work in stewardship. We were excited to honor community advocate Rebecca Martin and the co-founders of the Hudson Valley Seed Company, K Greene and Doug Muller, this year. Proceeds enable the continuation of our vital work in land, watershed and habitat protection as well as the development of educational and outreach programs.

1 - 4 p.m.
The Comeau - Shakespeare Lawn

We bring a fall festival to the heart of Woodstock each October. Tickets are free, but we ask for a voluntary donation for adults. Part of the proceeds go to support the Comeau Stewardship Advisory Committee (CSAC).

We have eco-focused workshops and crafts tables, so kids and adults alike can express their creativity. There's live music, food, exhibitors, free games and more.
