Library Talk: Vanished Fauna of the Catskills
Ethnoecologist Justin Wexler of Wild Hudson Valley paints a picture of the fascinating creatures that once inhabited the Catskill Mountain region, but have disappeared over the last three centuries. Wild Hudson Valley was founded in 2013 to teach about the rich history and environment of the region in a fresh, new way. Their walks, workshops, forest farmed products, and camping bring the past into the present and inspire others to become stewards of our planet.
