Partnerships
T he Woodstock Vermont Film Festival premiered in
the museum’s recently upgraded theater, November
11-14, 2010. Nearly 900 enthusiastic filmgoers attended
the festival and subsequent winter series.
Through a partnership with the Environmental Film
Festival in the Nation’s Capital, the oldest showcase for
environmental films in the U.S., 17 films and documenta-
ries were screened in the theater, which now features HD
digital cinema and Dolby™ surround-sound.
Filmmakers, actors, producers, and prominent pre-
senters introduced each film and engaged the audi-
ence in discussion following each screening. Notable
guests included acclaimed actress Kaiulani Lee who
portrayed environmentalist Rachel Carson in A Sense of
Wonder, award-winning documentary filmmaker, John
Grabowska, Grace Guggenheim, executive producer
and president of Guggenheim Productions, and Vermont
filmmakers, Alan Dater and Lisa Merton.
Ottauquechee River Bank Stabilization Project
A coalition of volunteers, non-profits, and federal and
state agencies worked closely with the Woodstock Foun-
dation and Billings Farm & Museum in 2009 to stabilize
800 linear feet of the Ottauquechee River stream bank
along the northern property line of the farm.
Twenty-two volunteers from six partner organiza-
tions planted 355 trees and 1,150 willow stakes along
the riverbank in an effort to repair the eroded vegetative
buffer. In the spring of 2010, volunteers replaced plant-
ings destroyed by severe winter flooding; in the fall,
additional trees were added upstream and downstream.
Restoration of the historic forested riparian buffer will
provide improvements to the aesthetics of the riverbank,
water quality, and the local wildlife habitat, as well as cor-
ridors for wildlife migration. The project will continue in
2011 with an Ecosystem Restoration Grant through the
Center for Clean and Clear, which was secured by the
Ottauquechee River Group.

for interpreting its rural culture and agrarian heritage, Billings Farm
offers diverse, interactive programs which focus on rural life, work,
