  • The Painted Village DRI
    Village of Tannersville Downtown Revitalization Initiative The Painted Village DRI 2 n ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Village of Tannersville earned the unique brand of “The Painted Village in the Sky.” The Village of Tannersville thanks our extraordinary community - residents, business owners, nonprofit leaders and their many employees for creating a buzz and driving this application. To say their engagement is extraordinary is an understatement. They inspire us. Our special thanks to our project sponsors for their ongoing investment in our Painted Village, and to those who donated space for meetings, time for outreach and consulting, leadership through the Village Board and other groups. They had conversation after conversation with residents (at the Post Office, the grocery store, over lunch and just walking on Main Street). We appreciate the commitments made by the Town of Hunter, the Greene County Legislature, and Greene County Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Planning who stand ready to strengthen our capacity further and enable us to drive the $64.5M of leveraged projects through implementation. Finally, we would like to thank our long-time ally, the Hunter Foundation, for their unwavering leadership and partnership every day. Together we are an unbeatable team. Being designated to participate in the DRI process will transform the future for hundreds of people and dozens of organizations who serve thousands of New Yorkers every year.

Annual dinner announcement In Memoriam Hike Schedule Member lists Editor's Notes 1 Spathe and Spadix The President’s Column by Heather Rolland As I sit down to write my penultimate President’s column, the snow is piling up. I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
