Rebecca Martin to Be Honored with Stewardship Award by Woodstock Land Conservancy

The Woodstock Land Conservancy (WLC) will honor Rebecca Martin, project manager of the Leachate Loophole and a longtime Hudson Valley environmental advocate, with the William R. Ginsberg Stewardship Award at its 13th annual Vernal Fling on May 17 at White Feather Farm in the Hudson Valley.

Martin, known for her leadership with KingstonCitizens.org, Kingston Land Trust, and Hudson Riverkeeper, has spent over 20 years protecting the region’s natural resources. She played a key role in blocking Niagara Bottling’s proposed water deal in Kingston and recently managed the Leachate Loophole report on landfill pollution.

WLC praised Martin for her passion, community organizing, and dedication to civic engagement. “It’s especially meaningful to be honored by WLC,” said Martin. “They’ve been a steady partner in this work for over a decade.”

Also receiving the award are Ken Greene and Doug Muller, co-founders of Hudson Valley Seed Company, recognized for their innovative and sustainable approach to seed saving and organic farming.

Tickets for the Vernal Fling are available at woodstocklandconservancy.org/vernalfling.
