Dreading social distancing?
Why not enjoy it instead on our protected lands, nature preserves, and
recreational trails.
Our open space is your personal space.
Breath some fresh air, listen to the birds, spread your arms wide
(plenty of room!), get some sun and be grateful for this beautiful
region we live in. WVLT invites you to hike, bike, and play on some of
our spectacular places, such as the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail- a safe
space for us all.

the American Eel and Garlic Mustard.
American eels are one of the most mysterious creatures on the planet.
They are born and die in the Sargasso Sea, but they spend their life in the
tributaries of North America. Eels are an intricate part of the ecosystem
and the economy of our seafood market.
Garlic Mustard is an invasive herbaceous plant that was brought to North
America by Europeans as a food source, however, it has escaped and is
running amok in our forests. One of the best ways to combat this invasive
species is to eat it!
