Proposal: To educate and enlist Ulster County citizens in fun, community building experiences that teach us how our watersheds are our lifeboats and prepare us to protect them.
Green Stories to the Rescue from Woodstock Transition offers a dynamic experience of personal storytelling and theatre arts — employing auditory, kinetic, and visual capacities — to expand our ways of seeing and acting upon environmental problems. Members of community groups will learn to focus their memory, imagination and emotional embodied presence as they move into their environmental work. Musicians and poets should join us. We will include walks and talks and storytelling in environmental venues. We will also use appropriate permaculture methods to focus on practical, domestic problems solving for homes and gardens.
We need to put on our creative hats to express our appreciation of the land’s beauty in song and stories and to inspire our souls to keep on giving.
Our collective contributions will lead us into our watershed lifeboat.

From its inception, with the formation of the Woodstock Transition Initiating Group in June, 2011, Publicity and Community Outreach have been central activities. In our first year we organized “raising awareness” events in the town, consisting of speakers, panels, discussions, and movies. The topics included water, food, waste management, tool exchange, permaculture, seed swap, and the new economy. Some of the movies shown were Transition 2.0, The Power of Community, … This first year culminated, in September of 2012, with our Woodstock Transition Festival. To publicize this event and to inform more Woodstock citizens of our endeavor, we personally visited each business owner in town. Between 200 and 300 people participated at the festival.
We are excited to have a site that offers more opportunities for member participation. If you are inspired to document Woodstock Transition activities in photos or writing, send them to info@woodstockNYtransition.org.
Each working group now has its own page. Check out the calendar for events, meetings, and projects. Together, lets make our website an informative and vibrant meeting place!
