The Fallsburg Coalition for Sustainable Growth is proud to host the “Love Our Land” Parade & Peaceful Protest on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 12:00 noon in Hurleyville. We hope you will join us!

This event is both a celebration of community and a call to action. At the heart, we aim to raise awareness. For years, reckless and unchecked development has been going on in Fallsburg endangering our natural resources - the essence of our community's charm and sustenance. If we remain indifferent, we risk losing both our resources and our beloved community.  

In addition, we are marching to raise awareness about other urgent issues facing our town:

• First responders are too often unable to reach people in need because of traffic congestion during emergency calls, putting lives in danger.

• Lack of water in local fire hydrants, leaving firefighters without adequate resources.

• Threats to private well water caused by unchecked development.

• Environmental dangers including weakened wetland protections, septic overflow risks, and destruction of bald eagle habitats.

• Destruction of unplaceable agricultural farmland in Fallsburg. How to Participate

• Bring a Sign: Please keep messages focused on public safety and environmental issues only.

• Dress for the Theme: Wear either an animal costume celebrating nature and wildlife, or red, white, and blue to show unity and pride.

• Set Up a Table: We invite environmental organizations and social welfare groups to host a table at the event so they can connect directly with the public, share resources, and build community engagement.

• Join Us from Anywhere in Sullivan County: These issues don’t stop at the Fallsburg town line. As goes Fallsburg, so goes the county. Environmental issues have no boundaries — we welcome participants from every corner of Sullivan County.

This is a community-powered event, and your participation — whether marching, volunteering, performing, or spreading the word — will help us celebrate our town, protect our land, and demand a safer, more sustainable future.

If you can volunteer, perform, join the marching band, bring a group to table, or enter the dog contest, please contact us with with your name, contact information, and how you’d like to contribute.

PLEASE— share this widely with your networks, friends, and colleagues. The more voices we gather, the stronger our message will be.
