Woodstock Celebrates Earth Day An Ongoing Partnership with the Environment Weston Blelock and Julia Blelock

Michael Esposito

This year Woodstock is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2010. Among many initiatives marking Woodstock’s yearlong celebration, two bright red bicycle-shaped bike racks were installed in the center of town in April. These are intended to provide a welcome to visitors and residents alike, and a reminder that Woodstock is a very earth-friendly place. Planning for these special racks began last summer, with the Roots of Woodstock Live Concert and EcoRaffle fundraiser held at the Bearsville Theater on August 15, 2009.

Sharon Rousseau

The Woodstock area has a long history of caring for its natural resources.

The U.S. environmental movement was actually launched in this region in the early 1800s with the paintings of Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School. Through their paintings these artists drew attention to the idyllic beauty of the Hudson River Valley 2

Day Nancy Campbell

and the Catskill Mountains. They fostered a growing appreciation of landscape painting as a genre, and they depicted an idealized theme of humans peacefully coexisting with nature. As a result, what had been a laissez-fare attitude in the U.S. toward nature and the environment gradually began to change. In 1885 the New York State Legislature set aside land in the counties of Ulster, Greene, Delaware and Sullivan for the Catskill Forest Preserve. This legislation was intended to protect the area from logging. In 1904 the Catskill Park was established here, consisting of public and private lands.

It has been called a “grand experiment,” challenging humans to live equitably with the wilderness.

Drawn to Woodstock by the area’s natural beauty, an Englishman named Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead founded the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony here in 1902. He sought to establish a protective enclave where artists and artisans could create beautiful objects in an atmosphere healthful to mind and body. The Colony served to further focus attention on nature and the environment throughout the first half of the 20th century.

During the 1960s the grassroots organization Scenic Hudson mobilized its forces to fight the construction of a gigantic hydroelectric plant near Storm King Mountain. Also around this time Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published. In 1969 Pete Seeger launched his Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, which inspired a series of well-publicized environmental initiatives over the years that followed.

...committed to a zero-carbon footprint...

Harriet Livathinos

In 2003 the Woodstock Environmental Commission procured a New York State Energy Research Development Agency (NYSERDA) grant covering eighty percent of the project cost of a photo-voltaic panel array for the municipal building at 76 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

This system presently produces more electricity than the building needs, so the excess is sold back to the local utility. In March 2007 Woodstock made headlines around the world when, as a community, it committed to a zero-carbon footprint by the year 2017. Currently Liz Simonson, a former threeterm Town Board member, is leading the community toward realization of that goal with workshops inspired by (local author) David Gershon’s Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to Lose 5,000 Pounds. Visitors and residents are invited to log onto the Town web site at www. woodstockny.org for The Green Guide, a downloadable PDF document designed to help us conserve our natural resources.

“Compost is Cool” Woodstock led a generation to peace and love through art and music forty years ago, and now celebrates 40 years of Earth Day while the town focuses on saving the Earth by building a cleaner, more sustainable town.

More than a century ago, John Burroughs wrote, “… one cannot but reflect what a sucked orange the earth will be in the course of a few hundred centuries. Our civilization is terribly expensive to all its natural resources; one hundred years of modern life doubtless exhausts its stores more than a millennium of the life of antiquity. Its coal and oil will be about used up, all its mineral wealth greatly depleted, the fertility of its soil will have been washed into the sea through the drainage of its cities, its wild game will be nearly extinct, its primitive forests gone, and soon how nearly bankrupt the planet will be!”

Pat Horner

“ . . . one cannot but reflect what a sucked orange the earth will be . . .” ~ John Burroughs 6

Day

With a small window in which to turn things around, Woodstock passed a zero carbon initiative a few years ago and several municipal and private buildings and homes are adding solar power, geothermal heating and/ or using less electricity or oil. Many of us are buying hybrid cars, gardening, composting, eating less meat and thinking “Green.� We recycle, reduce, repair, restore or re-use what we have while giving up plastic bags, other packaging and incandescent bulbs. We shop locally and visit our own and nearby farm markets. We smoke less or quit, then plant a tree. We clean with natural products and purchase fewer chemicals or drugs. We use re-cycled paper and turn our heat down while putting another sweater on.

The ideals and sensibilities of the Woodstock Generation are desperately needed today. Join us through our many acts of Green in making Woodstock and the Earth a better place for the next generation.

Pat Horner

in partnership with the earth It was no coincidence that the illusion of the “Garden” in the songs of the “Flower Children” of the 1969 Woodstock Festival evolved into movements that produced green consciousness, “Gaia” Earth Day, the Whole Earth Catalog and more.

The green peace symbol survives today in Woodstock . . . with its strict (some say overly) zoning laws, and the restrictions of a natural setting that lends itself to preserving land and not exploiting it.

The current campaign to accomplish a carbon free footprint is also a testament to the Woodstock ideal of living in partnership with the earth.

This concern is further evidenced by the actions of the Woodstock Land Conservancy, the town’s new farm market and the “ecological model” of the Ashokan Project. It is also apparent in the influx of new solar industries in the area, the “Our Town” committee’s search for affordable, sustainable housing, the town’s goal to eliminate plastic bags, and Woodstock’s overall impetus to reduce, reuse and recycle.

A major aspect of this trend is the eco-tourism that the Chamber and the Town promote . . . hiking the Comeau property, maintaining the other “jewels” of Woodstock’s natural necklace of open space, as well as the Overlook Fire Tower, the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts walk, sledding for kids, and cross country skiing for adults. We are still trying to get back to the garden.

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.� ~ John Muir Day

Re-Consider to Re-Commit and Re-Cycle Environmentalism was truly a grass-roots movement in which public outcry spurred politicians to act. On April 22, 1970, twenty million people participated in massive rallies on the first Earth Day, giving birth to the modern environmental movement. Over the past forty years, the world has made enormous strides in energy efficiency; some of the problems were fixed, laws were passed, activist organizations were formed and improvements were made. However, our fragile relationship with nature continues.

Paul Feasel

“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” ~ Joni Mitchell

Turn off the lights when leaving a room.

Turn off the hot water heater when out of town.

Day

Perhaps not radically altering the world energy picture, some of us are doing our best to accelerate the pace of improvement by resolving to use energy more wisely. A few easy, pain-free methods of becoming less reliant on nonrenewable, greenhouse-gasemitting sources of energy are:

Avoid plastic containers.

Carry your own bags to the grocery store.

Attend to as many chores as possible in one car trip.

Don’t drive unnecessarily.

Bank, shop and do business locally. For every $100 spent locally, $45 remains in the local economy and gasoline is saved.

Recycle as much as possible.

Start a compost pile for the earth.

Don’t use chemical fertilizers.

Celebrate with us the power of human energy.

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH ART Woodstock is an arts and cultural mecca in the Hudson Valley. Galleries, museums, crafts shops, art, photography, film, theater, music, poetry and dance performances celebrate Second Saturdays throughout the year as a way to promote the unique talent that resides nearby. Who better than artists—with their love of natural beauty—to envision a more sustainable world? Woodstock’s many not-for-profit arts organizations include the following: Byrdcliffe Art Colony The 1902 art colony, a National Register site, was founded by Englishman Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead.

Inspired by the 19th century Arts and Crafts Movement, Whitehead brought some of the first artists to Woodstock. His Byrdcliffe colony survives with 30 buildings in a 300-acre wooded environment; it provides summer residencies for painters, writers and musicians. Woodstock Guild.org Center for Photography at Woodstock Founded in 1977, CPW is dedicated to supporting artists working in photography and related media. Its programs include exhibitions, workshops, lectures, fellowships, artist residencies, and a publication, PHOTOGRAPHY Quarterly. CPW.org Historical Society of Woodstock HSW’s vision is to be the common thread that brings together the rich and colorful tapestry that is Woodstock. It works to shape our future through a shared understanding of our past. WoodstockHistory.org Kleinert/James Arts Center The Kleinert is Woodstock’s premiere performing and exhibition space. It has served the community since 1958 and features an eclectic mix of famous and notso-famous artists in concerts, exhibitions, classes, workshops, community events, book signings and lectures.
