Breaking news! One of the largest and most vulnerable tracts of land along the ridge just went into conservation: Humpo Marshlands and Forest. This 174-acre property is your view when you drive from New Paltz to the Ridge. This fragile land could have been drained and cut down to make way for development but thanks to the hard work of the Preserve and our friends at Open Space Institute, Wallkill Valley Land Trust, and the Town of New Paltz, the land is now forever protected as part of Mohonk Preserve to benefit nature and our community.

Land protection projects take surveys, appraisals, insurance, lawyers and lots of time with landowners. Then, once we protect the land we are forever obligated to care for and defend it with annual boundary monitoring, invasives removal and care. Your donations will make sure we are ready to care for protected areas today and act when the next opportunity strikes.

The power of environmental education at Mohonk Preserve is real and manifests itself daily. It builds curiosity and confidence. It gives students a reason to use language, to ask questions, share discoveries, and explain what they see. And, perhaps most importantly, it gives young people the experience of being capable participants in the world around them. You have the opportunity to help make more experiences like this possible.

Your support can put students outside, give them hands-on opportunities to learn, and help them discover that the places and environmental challenges around them are not just something to study - they are things they can help protect.

Let's give these young people the opportunity to become the next generation of environmental leaders with your donations to education.

Wonderful Waterfall Edge Bench Set from the Pin Oak Allee

Fine furniture is something to treasure for your lifetime and pass along to the next generation. Tonight you have the rare opportunity to take home a piece of the Preserve with these two, handcrafted, waterfall, live edge benches from the wood of over 100-year-old oaks in the Pin Oak Allee at the Testimonial Gateway. Measuring 17 inches high, 25 inches wide, 11 inches deep and one and one half inches thick, these sturdy benches combine rustic authenticity with a modern aesthetic and are finished with a UV resistant TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish. The benches are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

These lovingly produced benches are the work of Leonard Hofer, a local woodworker, cabinet maker and father of five who is a member of the Bruderhof Community in Rifton. His most notable accomplishment, aside from the toys he makes for his kids, was a black walnut handcrafted chair created for Pope Francis.

Let's show our gratitude to Leonard for his woodworking talent and commitment to Mohonk Preserve with a mighty bid!

Sometimes the best course of action is to let nature lead the way. At Mohonk Preserve, we're applying that principle to Duck Pond and the Kleine Kill, where restoration will help return the stream to a more natural, free-flowing state. The work is grounded in conservation science: understanding how water moves through the landscape, how temperature affects aquatic life, how native plants can stabilize streambanks, and how healthy ecosystems can better withstand a changing climate.

This is conservation science, not trying to control nature, but understanding it well enough to give it the conditions to thrive.

Your support tonight will help us do exactly that: give future generations, and all the species that share this place, a healthier Shawangunk Ridge.

The goal for our historic network of carriage roads is to keep these iconic routes maintained so they are enjoyable for climbing access, biking, hiking and running. And, the improved roads will make it easier for rescue vehicles to reach people in need. The Undercliff restoration project is a kind of project that is so big it only happens about every 20 years.

This adventure in Dinosaur National Monument offers fun Class III whitewater, scenery that rivals Grand Canyon, gorgeous side hikes, and comfy beach campsites. No wonder it's one of OARS's most popular rafting trips.

Lodore was the first major canyon encountered by John Wesley Powell and his men on their 1869 expedition. At its start, the river twists through a catacomb of scarlet slot canyons, yawning valleys, and lush ledges of emerald evergreen and brush.

Showcasing both legendary icons and rising stars, JazzStock crafts intimate, acoustic-centered events where musicians are free to unleash their creativity and improvisational spirit.

About the Trio Teri Roiger, Bill Ware, and John Menegon have been making music together as a trio for years - performing in living rooms and concert halls, intimate clubs and community spaces, across the Hudson Valley and New York City. In the summers, they've taken their act up the Maine coast, playing the storied towns of Camden, Blue Hill, Castine, and other downeast harbors where audiences have come to look forward to their return. These three have become genuine friends over the years, and it shows - the music they make together is relaxed, exploratory, and deeply felt, built around Teri's deep well of favorite songs and the remarkable musical conversation that happens when three players of this caliber simply trust each other and play.

Spring Birding Tour for up to Six

Join Mohonk Preserve's Associate Director of Conservation Science & Research, Megan Napoli, for a guided birding tour in the Mohonk Preserve Foothills (or Preserve location of your choice!). Your group will receive a personal birding education session where you'll learn to identify birds by sight and by sound, information on how to make your backyard bird-friendly, and what tools you can use to aid your birding identification skills. You'll also learn the actions the Mohonk Preserve takes to protect natural habitats and the impacts of climate change on our regional bird population and answer any questions you may have.

A beverage of your choice such as coffee or tea and snacks will be provided as well as a copy of Sibley Birds East, Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America to help you identify our fine feathered friends.

Length of birding session is approximately 2-3 hours, and length of travel can be up to you, but is generally between 2 - 5 miles. Your choice of season for birding session! In late fall and winter, bird feeders with seed and suet can attract many of our resident (non-migratory) species so this is an ideal time to learn your local bird species. In spring, especially in early May, there is the possibility of seeing migrant species passing through on their way to breeding territories - such as warblers, flycatchers, vireos, etc. In early summer, birds are nesting and raising young and so we'll discover who's chosen the Preserve as their breeding territory.

Note: Please initiate communication about scheduling your birding session at least six weeks prior to your ideal time.

Polished Cape Cod stone is set in sterling silver to create these stunning earrings. Earrings measure 1.5 inch tall x .5 inch wide.

David Urso's highly sophisticated handcrafted jewelry is a visual feast of color, form and surface characterized by sensual organic shapes and a painterly use of hand tinted resins applied in solids and patterns. The resulting color range is vibrant, earthy, and beautifully textured.

Hudson Valley Goldsmith, a local New Paltz jeweler, generously donated an 8-inch sterling silver large disc medallion bracelet. The piece features nine interconnected circular discs detailed with elegant, curved cutouts and secures with a classic lobster clasp.

It is the perfect timeless addition to your jewelry collection or a stunning gift for someone special.

A Bit of Wild jewelry is created from antler sections that have been carefully hand-sanded then polished to a soft sheen. Antlers, borne by males of the deer family (and by female caribou and reindeer) are the fastest-growing bone in any mammal - indeed, one of the fastest-growing tissues in the animal kingdom! Shed and regrown annually for the life of the animal, antler is a renewable bio-material unlike anything human-made. Shed as well as salvaged/repurposed antlers provide the raw material for this jewelry.

Antler shape, size configuration and density vary with geography, animal age and health, mineral status, nutrition, and genetics. The "spongy" bone in the inner core of the antler forms differently and is typically distinct from the harder, ivory-like outer material. This variation, reflecting the pattern asymmetry, and imperfection that characterize much of nature, is the palette for this distinctive jewelry. In different sizes, shapes, and tones from delicate to bold, no two pieces are alike, and all are surprisingly light weight. This set is designed as hoop earrings. Ear wires are silver plate.

Length of earring 2 3/8 inches.

1 1/4 inch long x 3/4 inch wide

Add a touch of elegant sparkle to your everyday style with this beautifully created off-loom bead woven necklace, handcrafted by the Preserve's very own Trailhead Manager, Cheryl Elsinger.

This 21-inch necklace is one-of-a-kind and features tiny black seed beads woven together for a comfortable, flexible drape. It is finished with a classic, easy-to-use Sterling Silver toggle clasp. This versatile piece transitions effortlessly from day to evening wear.

Striped Niobium Half-Round Earrings by Keith Lewis.

All of the color in these earrings is created in a clear oxide! Just as a soap bubble has many colors which change as the thickness of the bubble changes, these niobium earrings will show the color Keith chooses when he forms a clear oxide layer on the grey niobium shape using only electricity in a liquid bath of washing soda and water. More voltage equals thicker clear oxide, which creates a different interference color.

18k Vermeil ear wires left sterling at top, clip closed in the back. Finished with carnelian cabochons. The half-rounds move freely.

2 inch long x 1 3/4 inch wide

Polished Cape Cod stone is set in sterling silver to create these striking necklace featuring three stones. Necklace is on a 16-inch black leather rope with additional 4-inch stone feature.

David Urso's highly sophisticated, handcrafted jewelry is a visual feast of color, form and surface characterized by sensual organic shapes and a painterly use of hand tinted resins applied in solids and patterns. The resulting color range is vibrant, earthy, and beautifully textured.

Wild blackberry preserves form the flavor on the entry and combine with tantalizing, black truffle, sea salt, and steak au poivre juices.

Native Plant Landscape Consultation - Site Visit and Analysis with Angela Sisson

Learn about your landscape and how to start a pollinator garden or how to reduce your lawn with a native meadow. The first step in changing to a more nature-friendly landscape is an analysis of your property. The process of establishing native plants is oftentimes very different from conventional horticultural practices. Instead of amending garden soils, or installing irrigation, or changing structural elements, native-plant landscaping relies more heavily on the existing site conditions. For example, if soils are sandy and drain rapidly, rather than amending soils to accommodate certain plants, drought-tolerant native plants would be used instead.

During a site visit we will discuss the scope of an analysis which typically includes a listing or inventory of the existing conditions of your landscape such as: Plants, (horticultural and wild, native and exotic); Sun/Shade; Moisture; Soil; Slope, Drainage, Hydrology; Views; and History. We will also discuss your ideas and how you would like to use your property.

After the visit, you will receive a written report detailing your site conditions and everything we talked about including recommendations on how to proceed with your landscape.

Angela Sisson is an ecological landscape designer with nearly 20 years of experience using native plants. She is experienced in residential and municipal site analysis and holds a Master of Landscape Design degree from The Conway School. Angela initiated the Wallkill Valley Pollinator Pathway in 2020 and is a founder of the Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley chapter which chartered in February 2024.

What Is Raku?

Raku is a fast-firing, ceramic process that was first done in Japan over 500 years ago. The Japanese fired their ware in small kilns that were opened when red hot. The pieces were removed and either quenched in water or left to air cool. In 1960 a California potter, Paul Soldner 'Americanized' the raku process by submerging the quick-fired pottery in combustibles rather than quenching them in water. This process produces finishes that are interesting and impossible to replicate.

About the artist: The paintings of Thomas Sarrantonio seek to mediate between realms of external perception and internal reflection. They present themselves as meditations on nature and self. Choosing humble, often overlooked subject matter, such as the overgrown grasses at the edge of a field, he attempts to translate the dynamic processes of Nature into the stasis of physical matter on a painted surface. Small works are produced directly from Nature. The paintings are offered to the viewer as templates to provoke active participation in the process of seeing and quiet contemplation of the mysteries of consciousness.
