Scenic Hudson and the Conservancy teamed up to replace the worn historical education sign at Long View Park this week. Sign provided by Timely Signs.

Thank you for being so supportive in 2022! This year has been a success because of your donations, sponsorship, and volunteerism. 

While we fell short on our fundraising efforts for the barn, we were fortunate to bring back many of our annual events including the Taste of History, Wine & Cheese, and the Barn Party. Our trails were busier than ever, and your financial support and volunteer labor allowed us to maintain them for several generations.

Of every dollar we receive, 100% goes to maintaining our trails, supporting our programs, and running our events.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

We look forward to 2023 and hope to see you on the trails or at one of our programs!

Jeff was beloved by all for his easygoing manner, and the many contributions he made over the years via the New Baltimore Conservancy and the Greene County Soil & Water Conservation District. He was a true gentleman, who made the world a better place. He will be missed.
