A huge thank you to the DLC Volunteers for their help planting native sedges, ferns, and shrubs at the Jesse & Gayle Bontecou Wildlife Conservation Preserve on Tuesday. And a tremendous thank you as well to Wild Woods Restoration Project for all they've done to help restore native plants to the forests of the Bontecou Preserve.

We're heading out to the Jesse & Gayle Bontecou Wildlife Preserve in Stanfordville on Tuesday, October 6 at 9:00 AM. We'll be planting native shrubs and sedges in a new deer exclosure. Our friends from Wild Woods Restoration Project will be there with hundreds of native plants that will have a chance to grow without being browsed by deer.

What a wonderful way to spend a morning! Thank you to Leslie Farhangi and Brooke Schooley for hosting this year's Country Ramble. Such a fantastic way to learn about local land protection from people who have preserved their property through the DLC.

The fields, forests, and farms of northeastern Dutchess County are unsurpassed in their beauty. And what makes much of this land so special is that it is preserved forever.

Join hosts Leslie Farhangi and Brooke Schooley for an exclusive ramble through the Coleman Station Historic District of the Millerton countryside. It’s a remarkable opportunity to learn about their farms and connect with the community. Learn why Brooke and Leslie chose to protect their properties, why further conservation of open space and farmland is so critically important, and how it sustains the health and beauty of the area.

The event is free and dogs are welcome.

A light lunch will be provided following the ramble.

We were absolutely thrilled to present scholarships to 12 deserving 4-H'ers at the Dutchess County Fair on Saturday. The scholarships were awarded to help pay for the costs associated with attending the Fair.

And it was a tremendous honor to present the top applicant with the Dave Tetor Award in honor of the long-time DLC Board member and Agriculture Extension Agent at Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County, and his dedication to the farming and land conservation communities.

Congratulations to all the deserving 4-H'ers! Dutchess County 4-H

Since 1985, the Dutchess Land Conservancy has protected more than 22,000 acres of forested land. We’ve worked alongside hundreds of local landowners to permanently protect the landscapes that make our region so special.

From forests and working farms to wetlands, wildlife habitat, clean water, and scenic open spaces, every protected acre represents a commitment to the future of Dutchess County.

More than 40 years later, that commitment continues — protecting the land we value today so it remains part of our communities for generations to come.
