Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains in the town made famous for peace and music, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary provides sanctuary to over 200 rescued cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, sheep, rabbits and goats.
We are a place where visitors can come face to face with these animals who most only know as dinner and learn about the benefits of plant based food choices. Here you can frolic with goats in a large open pasture, sit down with a pig who wants nothing more than a belly rub, cuddle with chickens who seek out your attention or get nuzzled by some very friendly sheep!
At the heart of our mission is the hands-on work of rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for farm animal refugees – as well as educating the public about the horrific treatment of animals bred and killed for human consumption.
WFAS is driven by the simple philosophy that kindness and respect to animals is our moral duty and that all the creatures that share this earth are here with us and not for us. Like our faithful dogs and lap-sitting cats, farm animals are feeling individuals who deserve to be treated with compassion and to live free of fear and suffering.
WFAS depends on volunteers to make our daily operations, rescue, education and advocacy efforts possible. Volunteers are always appreciated to help staff clean housing and coops, assist with grounds maintenance, prepare and set-up our visitor center, and other projects (maybe some painting or assisting feeding animals). In addition, volunteers are needed to help with office tasks and outreach. Pack yourself a lunch if you are coming for a full day (vegan of course, out of respect for the animal residents).

We constantly need pet food {dogs, cats and bunnies too!}, bedding, towels, cat litter and pet-friendly cleaners and disinfectants.
Moving to Florida or Arizona? We need a snow blower. We have some 400 feet of driveway/parking. Snow plowing and salting is costly and destructive. The asphalt is always damaged and we invariably must repair the lawn each spring.
Have a small, four-wheel drive vehicle you would like to donate? We could use it in our law enforcement and animal welfare activities. We have to deal with bad weather and bad roads.
Agility equipment. We will offer outdoor agility training in the spring.
Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, painters, excavators, landscapers, heating and air conditioning contractors: could you spare us some time? We need your services from time to time, usually for relatively small jobs. Send us your business card and join our labor bank.
Items to sell at our yard sale.
Books (animal oriented) for our reference library.
Hydraulic Wood Splitter.

NYSDEC Recruiting Citizen Scientists for the 2010 Volunteer River Herring Monitoring Season
The NYSDEC Hudson River Estuary Program and Hudson Rivers Fisheries Unit are continuing a volunteer-based River Herring monitoring program this spring. Monitoring will take place between 4/1 – 5/31 during the annual migration of river herring from the ocean into freshwater tributaries to spawn. Each volunteer will conduct visual observations for signs of herring, at least twice a week for 15 minutes at a site close to his or her town. Training is provided and begins in March, no experience necessary. We need at least ten volunteers per site. More info.
