We are located at the Tivoli Lake Preserve.
The City of Albany will create six new trails, and you can help shape their story. Be part of this exciting project by voting on trail names representing our community and Tivoli Lake Preserve's beauty.
Votes have been cast. Stay tuned to learn more about the trails, including their names.
Thanks for participating.
Feel free to print any of these maps for your usage. When printing the overview map, check your printer settings to make it print like a booklet. We are constantly working to improve the signage and map system, so check back for other updates. This information will also be updated after the trails have been created, so stay tuned!
The Native stewards* of these lands were the Mohicans (Muh-he-Kuhn), “The people of the waters that are never still,” and the Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee), “people who build a house.” Additionally, none of our work would have been possible without Brother Yusuf. Read more about our history.
However, please note that the City of Albany technically owns the Preserve, which is open to all. We work on its behalf. We do not host private events, but please refer to our calendar of events listed above. While the Preserve is open to the public, the City of Albany requires that larger events request a special permit. You would work directly with the City of Albany to arrange these.
Getting here
Our farm is in the old baseball field across the parking lot from the Livingston School Apartments.
Parking is available around back of the Livingston Apartments (former Livingston Middle School) via McCrossin Avenue or at the end of Wilkins Avenue. You can also access the farm through the Tivoli Lakes Preserve with parking available on Judson Avenue.
If you have questions about the project, grazing, animals, donations, composting, volunteering, special events, bringing a group in for a group work day, please contact:

Little Free Library
We are thrilled to have a Little Free Library in Tivoli Lake Preserve. We are always accepting book donations and are actively seeking children's nature-related, ethnically diverse books.
If you’d like to make a book donation, please contact Helen Klaeysen.
