It's been a busy season clearing trails — and we'd like to send a warm thanks to volunteers Paul Helbock, Holly Mentzer, Jim Miller, Rudy van Dommele, Ezra Clementson — who respond *instantaneously* to reports of downed trees blocking access.

We couldn't enjoy the preserve without your efforts. Thank you!

Volunteers welcome!

Call for Volunteers!

Thanks to resident + Trail Committee member Heidi Wendel, last week we received 200 native witch hazel seedlings for the Nelsonville Preserve. About 80 have been put in the ground already.

If individuals/families would like to help plant this weekend, please email the Village Clerk [email protected] for details.

* For safety reasons, we encourage families to work as individual units.

Cold and rain did not deter the nearly 50 volunteers who showed up yesterday for the invasive species cleanup and habitat restoration in the Nelsonville preserve!

Big thanks to the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, Girl Scouts, Hudson Highlands Land Trust, Open Space Institute, Village of Nelsonville, Good Work Institute, Lower Hudson PRISM and Cold Spring Pizza for all they did to bring this community together!
