Hudson Crossing Wish List

In no particular order of importance...we have listed some of our current needs (and wishes!) for Hudson Crossing. Please remember that Hudson Crossing Park is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, therefore all of your donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. If you discover an item that piques your interest, a project you might wish to sponsor, or a need you might wish to fill, allowing this exciting project come to fruition, please let us know and we will provide you with further details.

You may call, e-mail, snail mail or click Mailist / Volunteer and fill out our form. We appreciate any and all help!

  • INTERNS & Independent Study Opportunities. Help the Park and get extra credit while doing so. We are always looking for self starters who can work on a variety of projects.

  • Native plant species (wildflowers, perennials, daffodils, flowering bushes, berry bushes, scented plants - flowers or herbs, saplings, orchard trees, etc.)

  • Labor and/or materials to create a stepping stone or log path

  • Large nature sculpture's)

  • A wooden mushroom patch

  • Willow whips and/or volunteers to design and build the willow tunnels

  • Volunteers to design and lead the building of a mosaic or mural wall

  • Eight to ten sturdy picnic tables (alike) for trail overlooks, Eagle Point, and the Knox Trail Pocket Park - could be made from concrete, wood, metal, or recycled plastic.

  • Grass seed and/or sod

  • A riding lawn mower new or in very good condition

  • A push lawn mower new or in very good condition

  • A weed-wacker new or in very good condition

  • Solar lighting (security lights for the pavilion, etc.)

  • Designated volunteers for: gardening, mowing, photography, internet/grant research, weekend workshops (ecology, birding, tracking, etc.)

  • And, of course, various levels of funding...for small projects and materials...for boardwalks and trails and overlooks...for the Dix Bridge and the Dix Estate...for electricity, for further planning and design efforts...for staffing*...and, ultimately, for the Environmental Education Center!
* Much of the success of Hudson Crossing Park may be attributed to years of diligent work put forth by dedicated volunteers and to the elected officials and employees of our local municipalities who have consistently demonstrated their support. Soon, the Park must establish a compensated administrative system to ensure continuity and the continued growth for Hudson Crossing. We invite individuals and corporations to consider funding a start-up administration for a period of three years. Interested parties may contact Marlene Bissell ~ Hudson Crossing Park President at (518) 859-1462 or abissel1@nycap.rr.com

Thank you for considering our wish list - we hope you'll choose to contribute to the success of the project&.and we encourage you to enjoy the Park in every season.
