Winnakee Land Trust Opens Vlei Marsh to the Public

Winnakee Land Trust Opens Vlei Marsh to the Public

The Winnakee Land Trust opened Vlei Marsh to the public on June 1, a 165-acre nature preserve that is Rhinebeck’s second largest wetland area. Multi-looped, newly upgraded trails at Vlei Marsh take visitors through both wetland and forest, home to scores of mammals, amphibians, and birds. A 30-year-old accredited land trust and nonprofit, the WLT focuses on protecting and stewarding forests, farmland, natural habitats, and water resources from development, for both ecological health and community enjoyment. They have expanded into acquiring and maintaining land in the Hudson Valley in the past few years.

It's Time to Rethink Housing Policies in the Hudson Valley

It's Time to Rethink Housing Policies in the Hudson Valley

According to John C. Cappello, Esq., a partner at the Walden-based law firm Jacobowitz & Gubits who has worked with both developers and planning boards and zoning boards of appeals in the Hudson Valley, while the region has seen significant commercial development recently, the issues of housing have been mostly ignored. To help solve this problem, Cappello says that community members must acknowledge the issue, advocate for change, and educate themselves on resources and policy changes happening in their own backyards.

  • Clarkson’s Beacon Institute Is Moving to Its New Home at Dennings Point This Month

    For over a decade, Clarkson University’s Beacon Institute has been a mainstay of downtown Beacon. From its location on Main Street, the Institute has become a leading voice in research into healthy water solutions in the region and has been an important local resource for STEM-driven educational programs for K-12 students, families, and the public alike. This June marks a major milestone for the growth of the Institute, as it officially relocates just a few miles south to Dennings Point—a scenic 64-acre peninsula that juts into the Hudson River and is part of the Hudson Highlands State Park.
