BETHEL, NY — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy (DHC) will hold its annual Thank-You Picnic on September 6 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. at the organization’s Bethel office. The event is free for members and friends, and those considering joining the organization.

There will be live music from the local band Little Sparrow (bring your instrument and jam) and outdoor games, crafts and fun for all ages. A light lunch made with local foods will be served. Join Amanda Subjin, the conservancy’s stewardship and education coordinator, for a walk on woodland trails on the 119-acre protected property. Enter DHC’s annual kayak raffle (an Old Town Heron nine-foot kayak and paddle, generously donated by Alice’s Wonderland in Greeley, PA).

This event part of the conservancy’s plan to turn its New York field office into an outdoor classroom complete with trails, herb and pollinator gardens, and wildflower meadows. The project is made possible in part through an Environmental Initiatives Grant from Sullivan Renaissance.
