Red Fox Ravine Grand Opening
Celebrate the opening of Red Fox Ravine, a public ecological preserve and community space in the Wilbur neighborhood of Kingston. There will be musical performances by local bands, a plant walk through the preserve, a mushroom harvest, kids activities, a ribbon cutting ceremony and food/cold drinks!
FREEQUENCY–Hip hop and soul collective made up of Kingston locals who have captivated the Hudson Valley
Pulso de Barro–Local band exploring folkloric music that will make you dance with members with familial connections to the land
Callie Mackenzie–a Kingston-based musician, multidisciplinary artist, and organizer who, armed with a guitar, brings the audience on a smooth, soulful and sometimes funky journey
Matthew O’Neill–A local band whose music combines elements of folk, rock, and world music to create a unique sound with lyrics that touch on themes of environmentalism, social justice, personal transformation, and celebrating the dynamic relationship between Mother Earth and all Creation, rooted in Indigenous ways.
Plant walk: KLT Land Steward Shanique Aladden will introduce us to plants as we walk through the preserve. The calcareous terrain is home to some unique plants such as the purple cliffbrake fern, wild oregano, maidenhair spleenwort, and wild ginger.
Community shiitake harvest and cookout: We will harvest shiitake mushrooms from the community log yard that was established by Luke and Kaya, with help from community volunteers, as part of their Eat More Mushrooms Project and cook them on the campfire!
