Huyck Preserve Says Farewell to Garrett Chisholm

RENSSELAERVILLE - Garrett Chisholm joined the Huyck Preserve nearly six years ago as the first Stewardship Coordinator. Stewarding 2,000+ acres is no small task, and Garrett hit the ground running just as the pandemic turned life on its head. 

Garrett's main responsibility has been carrying out the Preserve's invasive species management and monitoring plan, but he also monitored the boundary, supported the trails, built the volunteer trail steward program, led popular guided hikes, and assisted with the school field trip program. Garrett has been an invaluable part of a small team of staff and has also been a staff and has also been a significant member of the local community.

As he heads out to continue his career with another Hudson Valley land trust, please join the Huyck Preserve in thanking Garrett for all he has done here and wish him well in his future.
