As we approach year’s end, the Kingston Land Trust invites you to join us for Deep Roots – New Branches, a celebration and fundraiser that honors deep community ties while helping us grow into the future.
Honoring Our Roots, Growing Our Reach
At this year’s event, we celebrate and uplift Hudson Valley leaders whose work has grounded and expanded our regional ecosystem of care. We will be honoring Hudson Valley Alliance for Housing & Conservation, Scenic Hudson, and La Voz for their dedication to land, equity, and community.
Their leadership reminds us that protecting land is inseparable from protecting community — and that when we root our work in caring for people and place, we can grow something resilient, vibrant, and just.
Why Your Support Matters
Every dollar raised helps propel the Kingston Land Trust’s mission forward. With your help, we will:
- Preserve and steward critical lands that enhance ecological health and community access
- Support affordable housing, equitable access to land, and regenerative food systems
- Center the perspectives and land relationships of Indigenous, Black, and marginalized communities
Your generosity ensures that our roots run deep and our branches reach wide — together, we grow a legacy grounded in ecological and social justice.
Be Part of the Evening
Join us for an evening of connection, reflection, storytelling, and celebration! Enjoy local food and music, bid on fabulous auction items, connect with neighbors and partners, and help us imagine what the next chapter of this work will be. Together, we’ll celebrate:
- Achieving full land trust accreditation
- Expanding trails at Red Fox Ravine Preserve
- Growing our Comida y Tierra gatherings
- Deepening our Land In Black Hands programming
- Protecting 50 acres of Esopus floodplain (announcement coming soon!)
All of this progress is made possible by the generous support of people in our community, people like you. As we look to 2026, your contributions will allow us to reach our $200,000 year-end goal, ensuring we can continue to steward lands and relationships that serve us all.
What to expect:
- A handsome spread of seasonal, hearty hors d’oeuvres, thoughtfully crafted to replace a traditional sit-down meal—so you can mix, mingle, and move freely—all while enjoying delicious fare.
- Inspiring stories from our community and recognition of outstanding partners whose work anchors the land-trust mission in care, equity, and possibility.
- A lively opportunity to bid on unique auction items, uplift land access and stewardship, and help grow a wider, richer future for Kingston and our beloved Hudson Valley.
- Music provided by the multitalented board member, DJ Abdiel Lopez Torres, setting the atmosphere for informal conversation and joyful celebration.
