Join guests Jason Angell and Jocelyn Apicello of the Ecological Citizen’s Project as they share their talk “Building Community Through Consensus.” They’ll walk us through how they designed a process that empowered their community to work together.
Join Hudson Valley Seed Company co-founder and managing director Doug Muller for a behind-the-scenes look at seed farming in the Hudson Valley! Doug discusses the ins and outs of native seed production and propagation, including the Seed Company's multi-year path to launching its new PollinateHV Local Ecotype Seed Collection in partnership with PCA.
The Hudson River and its nearby waterways are lifelines connecting us to each other and our local ecosystems. We delight in ice floes cracking in the winter air, eagles hunting along a river's shores, and spending a warm afternoon on a lake's cooling waters. Most importantly, these places sustain life. But our essential water sources–and our lives along them–face a host of challenges amid the changing climate.
Join us to tour the PollinateHV case study site in Gallatin, a three-acre hayfield-to-meadow conversion in southern Columbia County. We’ll stroll through meadows of varying ages, once orchard and pasture, now being managed for biodiversity and deer overabundance. We'll discuss best practices and pitfalls for meadow-making and meadow management, and address practical questions around land stewardship in the Hudson Valley.
Join us to tour the PollinateHV case study site in Red Hook, a twelve-acre former cornfield managed by Bard College. Trails through this expansive meadow wind along several woody hedgerow installations, with expansive views of the Catskills.
Join us to tour the PollinateHV case study site in Gardiner, a meadow and riparian buffer that includes ¼-acre meadows on former lawn at a historic home.
