Dutchess County Pride Center and the Dutchess Land Conservancy are proud to bring back the Bio Blitz and Eco Hike for its second year!

Please join us for a Bio Blitz, a community-science effort to record as many plant and animal species within a designated location and time period. No experience is necessary. DLC staff will help, along with the Seek application and guidebooks, identify species and record them using iNaturalist. The Bontecou Preserve is newly managed land by the Dutchess Land Conservancy and our work can inform our management and conservation for years to come.

We’re happy to bring Poughkeepsie Pride back for its 6th year! The parade line-up starts at 11:00am on Market Street in the City of Poughkeepsie between the Eastbound Arterial and Main Street. Step-off is at Noon, and follows Main Street down to John M. Flowers Circle at Victor C. Waryas Park, where the Pride Festival will be in full swing! The festival will feature dozens of local restaurants, creatives, entrepreneurs, companies, and more!

Come on down to the intersection of Main Street and N/S Bridge Streets in Poughkeepsie to help us Paint Poughkeepsie Pride! Our annual crosswalk painting gets the street festive and ready for the Poughkeepsie Pride Parade happening the next Saturday.

Still unsure where to go? Just pop in Zeus Brewing Company to your GPS, we’ll be right at the corner there. As a bonus, Zeus Brewing Co. will be partnering with Dutchess Pride for a special surprise later on this year, so keep an eye out!
