Our long-term applied farmscape ecology research at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub is entering its 5th year and there are several ways how you can learn more about it. A 25 minute documentary "Farmscape Ecology" by Jon Bowermaster/Oceans8 gives a beautiful introduction to some of the questions that guide our research, to the physical setting, and some of our colleagues at the Applied Farmscape Ecology Research Collaborative.
We are happy to announce that we plan to guide in-person spring flower walks, again this year. Registration for these small-group events is required and currently we accept only one registration per person. Please click on the respective link in the following list for more info and to register.
The Farmscape team began our “Wonder Wanders” almost a year ago as a way to share the beauty and inspiration found in the natural world during uncertain times.
The Flora of Columbia County (Part 1): Introduction and Some Spring-flowering Plant Families is the most recent installment of presentations about the plants and animals that share the landscape with us. Botanist Claudia Knab-Vispo reviews some helpful botanical concepts and then introduces spring-flowering plants of five plant families that are found wild-growing in Columbia County.
Because we are currently unable to offer any guided ecology walks in person, we are providing some new online resources to help guide your explorations of the natural world in Columbia County during this time of physical distancing.
