BETHEL, NY — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy will hold a free community event on Saturday August 29, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on the grounds of its Bethel, NY office. The annual thank-you picnic celebrates our local community of supporters and friends and provides an opportunity for the public to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills, meadows, gardens and woods of the conservancy property.

Enjoy a light lunch made with local foods, live music from the Greater Rio Bluegrass Quartet, a guided walk on our woodland trail, monarch butterflies with Ed Wesely and live animals with the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, plus outdoor games, crafts and fun for all ages. The first 100 people to arrive will receive a free, reusable water bottle.

For landowners, get your questions answered about stewarding or conserving your lands with the conservancy’s land protection coordinator, Jennifer Sherwood.

The event is free for conservancy members and volunteers, but prior registration is requested. If you are not a member, you have the option to join anytime on our website

The picnic is supported in part with funding from a capacity grant from the New York State Conservation Partnership Program and New York’s Environmental Protection Fund. TThe Delaware Highlands Conservancy works with landowners and communities to protect the lands and waters, eagles and other wildlife and sustainable local economies of the Upper Delaware River region.
