For a lot of families in Newburgh and the surrounding area, barriers like transportation, cost, or simply not knowing where to start can keep people from experiencing the natural beauty right in their backyard. This hike is a direct extension of our mission: removing those barriers, one step at a time, and building a community that feels ownership over the outdoor spaces around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re partnering with <a href=\"https:\/\/hhft.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail<\/a> to lead a guided walk through Madam Brett Park \u2014 a 12-acre gem along Fishkill Creek, rich with history and natural beauty. The park is named for Catheryna \u00abMadam\u00bb Brett, one of the first European settlers in present-day Beacon, and it&#8217;s a peaceful spot to reconnect with nature, whether you&#8217;re a first-time hiker or a seasoned trailblazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the trail itself, this hike is a chance to learn. In keeping with our commitment to community-powered education, our guides will share insight into the park&#8217;s ecology, local history, and the environmental issues shaping the Hudson Valley today \u2014 part of how we grow the next generation of environmental stewards and outdoor leaders, right here in our own backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-1-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to Expect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lunch included \u2014 refuel after the hike with a meal on us<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free transportation available \u2014 we&#8217;re offering pick up and drop off at Safe Harbors in Newburgh, with limited slots (reserve by 9\/21)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bringing your own ride?
