For centuries, Native People traveled through the Catskill Mountains on well-used paths and visited select locations for hunting elk, beavers, passenger pigeons and other game. By the 18th century, secluded valleys near the headwaters of Catskill Creek, Schoharie Creek and the Delaware River became a refuge for families retreating from Euro-American settlement. This presentation will explore the identity of these communities and tell their story.
Presented by Justin Wexler of Wild Hudson Valley

Pollination is the bedrock of our natural communities. The work of the Hudson Valley’s pollinators—which include bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, and even bats and birds—is vital to the functioning of our natural systems. They help to fuel the food chain that nearly all animals rely on for sustenance and shelter, including human beings. Pollinators make our farms flourish and our forests function. However, the existence of many of our pollinators, and thus the integrity of our ecological communities, is under threat. Join us for the discussion of how we can help and what we can do.
