This exploration walk is perfect for nature lovers of all ages! We will learn about woodland pools and the animals who call these places home. These woodland pools, also called vernal pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals, like spring peepers, wood frogs, and salamanders. This time of year is ideal for spotting amphibians as they migrate from their wintering spots and journey to vernal pools to find mates. What’s involved: We will travel about a mile along the Salamander Loop, which features packed earth terrain. This event may include walking off-trail over uneven, wet, and muddy terrain to get closer to woodland pools. More information about trail conditions can be found at the link below. In the case of inclement weather, this event will be postponed to Saturday, 4/12 at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, April 5 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Harris (105 Bloody Hollow Road, Austerlitz)

Jaago Hudson is thrilled to announce the launch of our Survivor Support Guide for South Asians and their loved ones! This illustrated, multilingual resource was created by South Asian survivors for South Asian survivors to help navigate cultural barriers and stigmas around sexual abuse. It challenges the social norms that enable victim-blaming and rape culture, offering guidance and support to survivors and their communities. The Hudson launch is a public event where we will distribute free printed copies of the guidebook—available in 11 languages—for all attendees. There will also be food and space to connect with community members. You are welcome to share this event with your friends, family, and loved ones. We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you!

Bradford Reed and Ryder Cooley combine strings, reeds, keys, bows and steel to create plateaus of sound, intertwined with pizzicato ostinatos and improvisatory elements as the musicians respond to the energy of the room.

The electro-acoustic duet blends the sounds of bowed saw with harmonic overtones of pencilina, a zither-like instrument designed by Bradford. The music segues into traditional reedy melodies and drones on the accordion, then back again to the whispery moans of the saw interspersed with rhythmic pulses on the pencilina. Traversing a broad sonic palette, Grains of Euphora can be categorized as simultaneously symphonious and rambunctious.

The Melting Pot, a secular series by FPC Hudson, brings together musical talent and culinary artisans, pairing homemade soup with stellar live music.

Greene County is a critical battlefield for the fight for public power. We'll share how you can get plugged into organizing with your neighbors, who we need to win support from, and how we can pass a local resolution in support of the bill in multiple localities! Hear from Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha on how we can seize our power back from Central Hudson. The Hudson Valley Power Authority Act (Shrestha/Hinchey) would replace Central Hudson with a publicly-owned utility that delivers energy without a profit motive, and is accountable to the public.
