We are very excited to offer the popular Views from the Watershed program in a podcast format this year. Working with area artists and historians, educator Lize Mogel has created a podcast tour of the watershed that will highlight the history of and impacts of the NYC water supply system in the Catskills. The tour features interviews with many authorities on the subject, offering information from different perspectives. https://www.walkingthewatershed.com/podcasttour/index.html
