KAUNEONGA LAKE, NY — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy will present the digital and spoken word event, “Lemons Brook Farm: Lens, Pen and Place,” on Saturday, May 21, from 1 to 5 p.m., at the farmhouse where its New York office is based, 120 Segar and Rosenberg Rd.

It will feature the work of photographer and writer Sandy Long, who spent the month of November 2015 as artist-in-residence at the 119-acre property. A digital exposition of images will be displayed throughout the afternoon, and Long will briefly discuss her work at 1:30 and 4 p.m. There will be a guided walk on the woodland trail at 2:30 p.m.

The property is well loved by its owner, Lou Barr and his family. Barr’s reverence for his childhood home led him to work with the conservancy to protect it for the future. As a result, the pristine woodlands, fields and wetlands will continue to provide essential habitat for a variety of life forms. “I have tremendous devotion to what’s wild,” says Barr.

Long previously enjoyed a two-week exploration of Shenandoah National Park during fall 2014 as its first artist-in-residence (sandylongphotos.com/Galleries/Shenandoah-National-Park) and has for many years done similar work in the Upper Delaware River region as a resident of Pike County, PA.
