Connecting people is at the heart of what we do.

In support of our community building efforts, we offer a variety of programming throughout the year. PCA events include our popular Climate Action Mixers, our educational Morning Coffee webinars, our Get Outside! series, and ecological restoration volunteer opportunities.

Morning Coffee: The Biodiversity Legacy: Historic Native Land Management Practices in the Hudson Valley with Justin Wexler

Morning Coffee: The Biodiversity Legacy: Historic Native Land Management Practices in the Hudson Valley with Justin Wexler

For generations, the Lenape People stewarded their lands in the Hudson Valley, creating a landscape diverse in habitat and species and rich in natural resources. Over the past three centuries, the post-colonial Hudson Valley landscape has been drastically altered by more destructive and exploitative environmental practices. And yet, the legacy of the Lenape People is still visible in the region's rich plant diversity. Join us for a presentation exploring what once was, and how we can learn from traditional Native land management methods to create a more biodiverse, resilient landscape today.
