VERNAL FLING

THANK YOU to everyone who attended Vernal Fling! We gathered together May 16 to enjoy the indoor and outdoor spaces of White Feather Farm as we celebrated the 14th annual Vernal Fling.

We are already thinking about the 2027 event, so check back to this page early in the year for updates.

Vernal Fling is the unofficial kickoff for spring celebrations in Woodstock, an event where we celebrate the season while recognizing leaders in environmental work with the William R. Ginsberg Stewardship Award. This year we inaugurated a new award, the Emerging Leader Award. We honored the Longyear family -- Kathy, Matt and Heather -- as our Ginsberg Award winners and Zoe Keller as our Emerging Leader winner.

This year's featured art was "Planting Utopia (Tree of Life)" by Julia Whitney Barnes.
