Winter at Woodstock Join us for a day of holiday merriment at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary on December 17th! If you're searching for a delightful family outing that combines the magic of the holiday season with the chance to support our beloved rescued animals, look no further than our “Winter at Woodstock.”
Crafted Harmony: Invasive Species Harvest & Windchime Workshop Come craft with friends before the holidays! On Thursday, December 7th, we will take a short walk to harvest an invasive species found on the Preserve at Vassar and then spend time using the material to create environmentally friendly, sustainable, and giftable Japanese Knotweed Windchimes. Japanese knotweed is an invasive plant species known for its rapid growth and resilient rhizomes, posing a threat to the Preserve at Vassar's ecosystems. Help us to harvest and use some of this plant material before the winter weather covers the land for the next season.
