Hope on the Hudson:Where Land, Legacy, and Care Endure

Get ready to celebrate with old friends and new at Westchester Land Trust’s biggest night of the year!

Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 6–10:30 pm

at The Center at Mariandale, Ossining, NY

TICKETS ON SALE SOON!

This year’s celebration will take place under a starlit tent along the Hudson River at the Center at Mariondale in Ossining, featuring land protected forever by a Westchester Land Trust conservation easement. It will be an evening of beauty, connection, and shared commitment to the people and places that bring us hope and matter most.

During the evening, we will proudly honor three inspiring leaders whose care for the land and community embodies the spirit of Westchester Land Trust:
