Join HVA on a guided exploration of New York’s Great Swamp! One of the largest freshwater wetlands in the state, you’ll learn all about the complex ecosystems that surround the boardwalk trail while looking for wildlife and discussing wetland ecology and conservation with the HVA team. Don’t miss this chance to explore one of the region’s most important habitats along the Appalachian Trail corridor!

Participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, at the Great Swamp Boardwalk on the Appalachian Trail. This 2.5-hour hike is about 3 miles and is appropriate for all ages. Registration is limited, so please reserve your spot today!

The only conservation organization dedicated to the entire tri-state Housatonic River watershed, the Housatonic Valley Association acts to protect the natural character and environmental health of the region, from the Berkshires to Long Island Sound, through river restoration projects, land conservation initiatives, and environmental educational programs. Learn more at hvatoday.org.

50 years after their completion, an exhibition of late-artist Woldemar Neufeld’s “Bridges Across the Housatonic” paintings will open in West Cornwall, Connecticut! Join the Housatonic Valley Association, Cornwall Conservation Trust, and Housatonic River Commission on July 17 at 3 p.m. for an opening reception at 7 Railroad Street, West Cornwall, CT.

Originally created in celebration of America’s Bicentennial, this gallery will showcase original Neufeld watercolor and ink paintings, featuring bridges along the federally designated Wild & Scenic stretch of the Housatonic River. Visitors will be given a glimpse into Neufeld’s thoughts and methods as he completed this ambitious project through his reference photos and sketches, and modern-day photos of the depicted locations will welcome viewers to reflect on their own history of interactions with the river at a time when preserving our natural resources and access to open spaces is more important than ever. We hope to see you there!
