Since 1996 Friends of the Great Swamp has hosted an annual “Celebration of the Great Swamp.” We welcome friends,supporters, members and the community to join us for a weekend of celebrating the beauty, value and benefits of the Great Swamp. Each year the event is full of fun activities for the whole family.
In 2016 we premiered our new Great Swamp video featuring the voice of long-time Pawling resident, James Earl Jones.
In 2020, we’re proud to celebrate 24 years of the “Celebration of the Great Swamp!”
Given the constraints around indoor gatherings this year, we are excited to try a new approach, and are planning to hold both adult and children’s art shows virtually so that you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home, and also share with supporters who live further away. We will bring as many of our usual activities as possible to you digitally – there will be online demos for children’s activities that can be recreated at home, and video presentations by some of our expert volunteer naturalists. We will also have artwork and other unique items available for sale. T-shirts will be available for special donations to FrOGS.
