Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area
During the month of November, Ellenville artist
Monica Cohen will be exhibiting a collection of her paintings and drawings from
the past two years. The exhibition will feature plein air paintings of
locations throughout Ulster, Sullivan, and Orange County, and pen and ink
drawings of iconic Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountain landmarks.
Monica's oil paintings depict scenes from Sam's
Point Preserve, Bashakill Wildlife Refuge, Skinners Falls, Mohonk Gate, and
Lippman Park. She celebrates the beauty of nature across different seasons
through the use of expressive brushstrokes and a highly personal color palette.
Monica is an active member of the Coalition of Forward-Facing Ellenville
(COFFE) and the Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville.

Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area
(845) 647-7989
Dust off your old, field identification guide and join Becca
Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator, on a hike to learn how to use it. On this
three-mile, moderate adventure, we will look at leaves and bark and use a field
guide to identify different trees growing in the Park Preserve. Taking the time
to learn tree identification by working your way through the multiple steps of
a field guide reinforces your knowledge of the unique characteristics of that
tree. This leaves a more durable memory than the quick impression made when
using apps on technology. Do not fret if you don't own a tree field guide,
there will be field guides available to borrow. Field Guide Friday will be a
monthly program, focusing on different topics as the seasons change. This
program is suited for anyone who is old enough to read and is interested in
learning how to use a book to identify plants, insects, and more. Participants must bring water and snacks and wear appropriate hiking shoes.
Meet at the Sam's Point Visitor Center. Pre-registration
is required by calling the Sam's Point Visitor Center at 845-647-7989.

(845) 647-4611
Join Becca Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator,
for a lesson on "What is Sam's Point, what are we protecting here and what is a
Park Preserve?" We will dive back in time to talk about how the Shawangunk
Mountains were formed, then, we'll discuss other natural and historical events
that have happened here. We will finish by discussing what a Park Preserve is
and how Sam's Point qualified to become one. There will be an opportunity to
share individual stories at the end of the program. Children must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Meet at the Cragsmoor Free
Library. Pre-registration is required by calling April
Marl, Library Program Coordinator at 845-647-4611 or

(845) 647-7989
Dust off your old, field identification guides and join Becca
Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator, on a hike to learn how to use it. On this
three-mile, moderate adventure, we will search for footprints in the mud or
snow and use a field guide to identify different critters living in the Park
Preserve. Taking the time to learn tracks using field guides and rulers
reinforces your knowledge of the unique characteristics of that animal. This
leaves a more durable memory than the quick impression made when using apps on
technology. Do not fret if you don't own an animal tracking field guide, there
will be field guides available to borrow. Field Guide Friday will be a monthly
