Join CLC and The O Zone / Flower Power for this season’s final volunteer work party caring for the Pollinator Patch at Greenport!

This volunteer work party will involve replanting the patch with native species that will help local pollinators thrive. Volunteers will leave with new skills related to native plant landscaping and small-scale land management.

We can’t wait to welcome volunteers back to the pollinator patch this spring to see all of the changes and new insects! All are welcome at this fun, friendly volunteer event.

Join us for the 6th Annual Community Reading of Washington Irving’s timeless classic, Rip Van Winkle, at the historic 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station on the MTHS campus.

Calling all storytellers! Here’s your chance to step into the shoes (or perhaps the slumbering boots) of iconic characters. This is a fantastic opportunity to flex your theatrical muscles in a fun, low-pressure environment. Embrace the colorful language and dramatic moments of Irving’s masterpiece – no memorization required!

Spectators, prepare to be enchanted! Immerse yourselves in the charm and humor of Rip Van Winkle as it unfolds in the unique ambiance of the beautifully preserved train station. It’s a fan-favorite tradition for a reason – a delightful afternoon of community, literature, and a touch of old-world magic.

Joining us again this year will be Catskill Artist Matt Bua and the Traveling Rip Exhibit. View the magic and lore of Rip displayed at the Train Station.

Also, a magical visit from Rip himself!
