And the Oscar 🏆goes to … Buttonhook Forest is featured in this important film!
Please show your support and join us on Wednesday 19 August at the Bedford Playhouse for a screening of Seven Generations of Hope. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and reception.
When Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican youth return to their ancestral homeland, an unexpected partnership with Catholic sisters transforms both groups—proving that healing intergenerational trauma begins with choosing hope over history. Together, they find common ground in the seven generations principle: the idea that decisions made today should allow seven generations in the future to thrive.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from the Westchester Land Trust, the New York Community Trust, the Dominican Sisters of Hope, Joe Plante (filmmaker), and Tribal Members of the Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohicans.
Directed and Produced by Joe Plante New Media Storytellers.

We’re so excited to join our friends at Westchester Land Trust and Somers Land Trust to explore the tracks and trails of the wildlife that make Rhinoceros Creek Reservation their home! Make sure to register so you don’t miss your chance!

On Saturday, March 14, join us at Rhinoceros Creek Reservation for 🐾Common Ground: Wildlife Tracking on Protected Land🐾, a gentle morning walk from 10–11:30 AM and the first program in our Common Ground series, which explores how land use shapes ecosystems across the seasons.

Together, we’ll slow down and read the forest floor, following animal tracks and signs to better understand how wildlife moves through protected land, and how thoughtful stewardship gives these species room to thrive alongside us.

This walk is offered in partnership with Somers Land Trust, stewards of this beautiful landscape, and The Rewilding School, whose work helps deepen relationships with the natural world.

⏰ 10:00am–4:00pm
📍 Marsh Sanctuary, Mt. Kisco
💰 $100 per person | $150 per pair

Compliance is not learning.

Children aren’t meant to spend their days sitting still, staying quiet, and following directions on repeat. Real learning happens when kids can move, explore, question, and engage with the world around them.

At The Rewilding School, learning happens in all seasons. Kids are outside year-round, building resilience, confidence, and real-world skills through hands-on experiences in nature.

The outdoors gives children what many traditional settings can’t:
🌿 space to move
🌿 time to wonder
🌿 freedom to get messy
🌿 opportunities to problem-solve, collaborate, and lead

These wild programs are great for all kids, but you may especially notice the difference for the boys labeled “too active,” the girls told they’re “too loud,” and the kids who move too much, talk too much, and think out loud.

If you’ve ever felt like something essential has been missing from traditional learning environments, this is your invitation to think differently.

Let kids run, climb, build, and explore.
Let them learn by doing, in the heat, the cold, the mud, and the magic.
