About this listen

Today we explore the impressive and inspiring work of the 50-year old Open Space Institute, which has protected more than 2.5 million acres, with a special focus on New York State and the Hudson Valley! We are joined by Peter Karis, OSI's VP of Parks & Stewardship and Matt Decker, OSI Land Project Manager. We had a heartening, wide-ranging conversation about many of OSI's remarkable conservation efforts, including the Growing Greenways project in Ulster/Sullivan/Orange counties and the Catskills-Shawangunk Connector project (more on this story here).

From recreational rail trails to remote expanses of wilderness, OSI engages in multi-stakeholder collaboration and uses science, data, advocacy and land acquisition to permanently protect high priority landscapes for generations to come!
