Event Details
Celebrate spring by joining us for a spring plant sale! We will have two vendors selling native plants from 10 AM until 2 PM.
Barkaboom Native Plants is a native plant nursery located in Margaretville NY, specializing in plants indigenous to the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley. We grow a wide variety of perennial forbs, grasses, trees and shrubs for gardeners, landscapers, restoration professionals, and anyone else interested in adding biodiversity to the land. All of our plants are grown using organic methods from straight-species, non-cultivar seed, to maximize value to at-risk pollinators and our greater ecosystem. Nursery owner Chris Nilan will be present to answer questions on the many benefits of gardening with native plants.
Andrea Toscano Design Studio is an ecological landscape design studio & nursery based in Saugerties, NY. The nursery focuses on cultivating specialty & hard-to-come-by organic vegetables, herbs, and annual flower seedlings. Offerings include seed varieties that are regionally adapted for our Northeastern climate, have been specially bred for flavor or unique color, and have multiple uses over the course of the season. The nursery’s aim is to connect people to the process of growing their own food and cultivate curiosity through elevating uncommon and outstanding plants. The nursery has been in operation since 2020, offering seedlings every spring within the Hudson Valley.

Event Details
There is broad agreement that the energy system will need longer-duration energy storage technologies to integrate increasing levels of solar and wind generation and achieve deep levels of decarbonization. While gigawatts of lithium-ion battery capacity are being added to the US power grid each year, few of these installations have a duration longer than four hours.
Long-duration energy storage (LDES), often defined as eight hours of storage or longer, is beginning to emerge as the next big leap in the evolution of the electric grid. As excitement around the sector ramps up, LDES companies are surpassing billion-dollar investment milestones, and states and utilities are establishing the first procurement targets for longer-duration storage resources. But why exactly do we need LDES? When will we need it? And, what needs to be done to support LDES technology and market development?
In this panel discussion, experts representing state, utility, and academic viewpoints will address these questions from their perspective. Panelists will answer questions from attendees following the discussion.
Panelists:
Chico Hunter, Manager, Innovation and Development, Salt River Project
Wilson Ricks, Doctoral Researcher, Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization (ZERO) Lab, Princeton University
Tom Ferguson, Energy Storage Programs Manager, Renewable and Alternative Energy Division, Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources
Weston Dengler, Senior Analyst, Research & Industry Strategy, Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA)
Geovanni Castano, Energy Technology Advisor, Dominion Energy

Event Details
The Center for Earth Ethics is thrilled to bring our faith, spirituality and climate training to the Hudson Valley this June. The Center has hosted Faith and Climate trainings since 2016. When both nature and society face many threats, community, spiritual connection, and bioregional knowledge are indispensable. This convening is a vital opportunity to come together, learn from leaders and one another, and renew our commitment to the challenging work ahead.
This training, designed for leaders and active members of all faiths and traditions, will support participants in responding to the climate crisis, with a focus on ecology and biocultural heritage of the Hudson Valley. The program will address climate science and policy, bioregionalism, local watershed and foodshed issues, and environmental justice initiatives. We will share skills to offer spiritual support and pastoral care, co-create ritual and ceremony, communicate science through an ethical lens, and learn from the land and water. The program will run from Friday afternoon through Saturday evening with an optional stay through Sunday morning.
The training will be held at The Ashokan Center, New York State’s oldest environmental education center. Adjacent to the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskills foothills, The Ashokan Center hosts cultural, educational and community programming in its historic buildings powered by 100% renewable energy. Our program will integrate the outdoor classroom, forest and stream of this special site. Miles of hiking trails, kayaks, and a wood-heated sauna are available to participants, alongside a fully vegetarian, high-quality menu. Participants may stay onsite or commute from home. Learn more about the Center’s facilities.
Although preference will be given to people connected to faith and spiritual communities in the Hudson Valley, the training is open to all who feel called to apply.
By application; apply at the link below.
In person only; onsite lodging available. Please contact us at info@centerforearthethics.org with any questions.
Applications will be accepted through May 25.

Join Sustainable CUNY, New York Solar Energy Industries Association (NYSEIA), and hundreds of clean energy professionals from the public and private sectors for a full-day summit focusing on the policies, programs, and solutions needed to drive continued progress deploying solar and energy storage at-scale in New York City.
The new federal administration’s Executive Orders and agency appointments signal a shift in energy policy priorities, introducing potential changes in market and regulatory conditions. As the landscape evolves, City, State, and private-sector leaders are assessing the implications and working to adjust their policies, programs, and business models accordingly. Despite these shifts, the economic and environmental drivers for solar and energy storage remain strong. The 2025 NYC Solar + Storage Summit will convene policymakers, business leaders, practitioners and stakeholders, for a full-day interactive summit focused on advancing the NYC Solar + Storage marketplace.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get professional insight at our upcoming conference, featuring top industry experts and networking opportunities. Secure your spot today to gain access to exclusive sessions, keynotes, and networking.
