The Catskill Mountain Foundation's Kaaterskill Fine Arts Gallery, Hunter, NY, in cooperation with the NYC-DEP, the Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District - Watershed Assistance Program (Tannersville, NY), the Windham Arts Alliance, and the Mountaintop School Districts announce the opening of the First Annual Student/Amateur Photo-Art Exhibit. The Amateur Exhibit, on display and open to public viewing until June 3rd, 2012, is being offered as one of a number of events being held across the Schoharie Watershed region during the month of May.

Schoharie Watershed Month is an annual event that recognizes the role that the Watershed plays in the life of the Mountaintop communities and beyond through organizing quality educational activities across different age groups and avenues that involve local organizations, schools, residents, and businesses. Participating school districts include Hunter-Tannersville, Windham-Ashland-Jewett, and Gilboa-Conesville. These are the very locations that were devastated by Hurricane Irene and the storms of last fall. This exhibit takes its theme from the commitment and rebuilding efforts that have taken place since the floods of 2011 and are continuing even now. In addition to those listed above, co-sponsors of the events throughout the month include the Catskill Mountain Foundation, the Catskill Watershed Corporation, the Mountain Top Historical Society, the Greene County Sportsmen's Federation, the NY/NJ Trail Conference, the Greene County Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the Community of Windham Foundation.
