Who We Are

Founded in 1988 by a dedicated group of local citizens, the Woodstock Land Conservancy is a non-profit land trust. We are run by a small staff and an all-volunteer Board of Directors. At its core, WLC is an ever-growing community of dedicated and generous volunteers, supporters, and community members who share a passionate love and respect for the land and the unique place we live. WLC owns and manages undeveloped land and works with landowners to permanently protect their property through conservation easements and by acquiring their land through donation or sale. We also provide nature education and outdoor activities to the community. Because we operate in the public interest, WLC depends on private donations to carry out its work. It is our strong foundation in the community that makes it possible to protect land that otherwise would be lost forever. This email address is being protected from spambots.

OSI Purchases and Improves Land Within
Catskill Park's Bluestone Wild Forest

Acquisition will increase public access with creation of new trails, wayfinding kiosk, parking area.

Building on four decades of land protection in the Catskill Park, the Open Space Institute (OSI) today announced the acquisition of land that will link two previously unconnected sections of the Catskill Park’s Bluestone Wild Forest: Jockey Hill to the east and Onteora Lake to the west. Located ten minutes from the NYS Thruway in Kingston, the acquisition creates regional connectivity of protected lands, and permanently protects a scenic, forested parcel for public enjoyment and recreation.
