The Northeast Mycological Federation is holding its 2023 Sam Ristich Foray at Soyuzivka Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Center, in Kerhonkson, NY. Soyuzivka (Soy-u-`zhew-ka) is just south of the Catskills in the Shawangunk Ridge region, easily accessible from I-87 and I-84.
There are nearly 400 acres of land and two miles of trails at Soyuzivka. One day in September 2009, Dianna Smith found more than 60 taxa in one hour! Walk sites will take advantage of over 15,000 acres within a short distance of the retreat center. In September there is usually enough rain to hydrate the soils of this region.
