GETTING THERE


The Forest Sanctuary is located along the Kingston Point Rail Trail / Kingston Greenline in between Delaware Ave and Rondout Gardens (71 Gross St.) It is accessible by bike, foot or car if you choose to use streetside parking on Gross St. 

 

 

 

 

THE POLLINATOR GARDEN

At the top of the slope in the sanctuary is a pollinator garden created and maintained in partnership with Hudson Valley Bee Habitat. 

 

 

EDIBLE LANDSCAPING

The Sanctuary is being revegetated with many native edible plants such as, Paw Paw and Hickory trees, Black Currant, Raspberry, and Elderberry bushes. As these plants mature they will be available for public foraging.
