Our Mission
Wyldewoods is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote ecologically harmonious ways of living. Through practical demonstration and education we aim to foster community approaches to creating healthy habitats that can meet the needs of human and non-human inhabitants alike. Our mission is to demonstrate how we can both rewild our environment to benefit the wild animal and plant species of our bioregion and how we can use horticultural techniques and wild crafting to sustainably meet our own needs of food, fuel, fiber, medicines, and materials in ecologically regenerative ways.
The Land
Wyldewoods is located on 75 acres nestled in the foothills of the Catskill mountain range in New York state. Approximately one third of the land is covered by regenerating oak, maple and hickory forest, with the remainder a patchwork of hay fields, old fields, abandoned orchards, wild hedge rows, farm ponds and springs, an old farm house and large barn dating from the late 1800’s.
