Catskill Conversations: Foraging & Feasting

We are the longest-running outdoor environmental education organization in New York State. Located in the storied Catskill Mountains adjacent to the Ashokan Reservoir, the primary water source for New York City, our bucolic 385-acre campus features a number of historically significant structures and is comprised of fields, forests, trails and streams.Our mission is to teach, inspire and build community through shared experiences in nature, history, music and art.
