Questar III & NYS Parks partner to offer student art exhibit

Feb 9, 2018 | Questar III BOCES, School District, School Library Service |

For the second year, Questar III and the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are partnering to create a student art exhibit at Schodack Island State Park. The group is seeking local Pre-K to grade 12 student works to display at the 1,052-acre site located on the eastern shore of the Hudson River. The exhibit is open to all students in grades Pre-K to 12 in Rensselaer, Columbia and Greene Counties.

The park has been designated an estuarine sanctuary, and a portion of the park shelters a bird conservation area that is home to bald eagles, cerulean warblers and blue herons that nest in the cottonwood trees. Eight miles of multi-use trails wind through a variety of ecological communities.

To highlight the rich cultural and environmental history of this park in the heart of the Questar III region, student-created work will be displayed throughout the park in weatherproof cases, built by students in Questar III’s Constructional Technologies program last year. Entries should focus on the park’s natural or cultural history, recreational opportunities, or natural beauty.

Cruise down to the State Park

The car show that was scheduled for Friday, August 18, has been rescheduled for next Friday, August 25. 

Be sure to join us. Dash plaques and other gifts will be given out to participants. Also, the Best of Show will not only get a trophy, but also win a $25.00 gift certificate for RockAuto.com.

A Beginner’s Christmas Bird Count
Saturday, December 17, 2016 09:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Schodack Island State Park

(518) 732-0187

Join bird experts from the Audubon Society of the Capital Region for a family-friendly introduction to the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas Bird Count. On this outdoor foray, beginning birders will learn all about the Count's history, methodology and contribution to conservation science. Schodack Island State Park is well positioned for open-water winter bird specialties such as Bald Eagle and Great Black Backed Gull, large and common residents which even novices can easily identify. Oh, you'll learn plenty of cool dickey-birds, too! Afterwards, field parties will re-group at the pavilion to compare notes and enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and coffee.

Please call the Park Office at 518-732-0187 by c.o.b. December 14 to register or for more information. In case of inclement weather, this program may be cancelled.
