Guardian Revival, Putnam County, and the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Vet2Vet Program are proud to announce the official dedication of the Putnam County Guardian Dog Park, located in the Upper Park of the Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel, NY. The dedication honors military, veterans, first responders & K9 Handler Captain Max Kalkstein.

Aaron Leonard replaces Alex Othmer as Chief Executive Officer at Guardian Revival. Leonard retired as Lieutenant Colonel after more than 27 years in the US Army and worked for Sierra Club Military Outdoors before leading Guardian Revival’s Another Summit program.

Hudson Valley Magazine article highlighting Co-Founder Alex Othmer’s story and the development of Guardian Revival & our free, transformative programs — outdoor adventures (primarily offered in the Hudson Valley), companion dogs, music (including our recording studio at GR HQ in Beacon), and peer services (support via group gatherings, direct 1:1 private sessions, and non-crisis talk line).

Let the countdown begin! New Year’s Eve is one of the most fun and festive nights of the year, and here in Dutchess County, we are ready to pop the cork, pour the Champagne and toast 2025 in grand fashion. Here is a list of 25 can’t-miss, alphabetically listed New Year’s Eve hot spots and uniquely Dutchess experiences (including a few that are kiddo-friendly). So, get out and celebrate!

The Sierra Club highlighted our partnership in offering outings to veterans as one of their 2024 highlights. “From Alaska to Florida, our chapters are partnering with groups like Healing Hearts, Guardian Revival, YMCA, and the Wounded Warrior Project to deliver the benefits of the outdoors directly to participants.”
