Learn how you can help Ulster County move toward a true Zero Waste future and reject harmful incineration and so-called “waste-to-energy” projects that threaten our health and environment.

Your voice matters. An opportunity for public comment is happening tomorrow at the Ulster County Legislature. Show up, speak out, and help shape a cleaner, more just waste system for our community.

Just FYI, this was on the Sawkill that eventually dumps into the Esopus Creek. Luckily, it sounds like it was contained pretty quickly!

TOMORROW NIGHT! at the Town of Ulster Town Board meeting at 6:30pm, we will be presenting (at the end) our “Protect the Ridge” petition of signatures from not only locals but descendants of the history makers that lived in “Wolf Rock Hall” above Adams Fairacre Farms.
Did you know that “Wolf Rock” on that ridge is considered a sacred site?.
Lightstar Renewables (solar farm) found arrowheads on the proposed ridge in their initial report which could indicate further archaeological findings.

The Office of Parks , Recreation and Historical Preservation requested a second study, a deeper dig – however we have seen no reports yet.
Has Lightstar done the recommended 2nd study and addressed all the feedback from the County Planning Board?
Please attend the meeting tomorrow to speak up in opposition to the cumulative impacts of this project and please attend the Tuesday 3/11 at 7pm Planning Board meeting where Lightstar is on the agenda again. Your presence sends a message!

If you've ever shopped at Adams Fairacre Farms Kingston on Route 9W in Lake Katrine, you might have noticed a large mysterious 1890s neoclassical white mansion perched atop the ridge.

It's called "Wolf Rock Hall." Find out more about its extraordinary history, its inhabitants, and why we need to protect it and the ridge that it sits on.
