A Sign of Health & Restoration
Recently, HFC Board Member and Master Watershed Steward, Cindy Pizziketti, caught a glimpse of this red-backed salamander along the creek banks at the Horn Farm. In addition to the joy of uncovering wildlife, finding amphibians like this salamander can be a good sign!
Salamanders are considered bio-indicators due to their sensivity to enviornmental change. With permeable skin, salamanders are like “environmental sponges” and tend to thrive in freshwater ecosystems with high water quality. Seeing this little critter is sign that all of our hard work to protect and restore the ecological health of our farmscape truly pays off.

Farmhouse Update: Building for a Better Future
Our Facilities Team is leading the effort to redesign and rebuild the Horn Farm Center’s historic farmhouse. Team members meet weekly and are currently working to engage a design and construction team that will help us reach our goals to build and expand in a way that is ecologically responsible and supportive of our organizational growth.
Some of our goals include:
- Expanding our capacity to host large events and educational programs
- Reducing our ecological impact and operational expenses through green building technologies
- Designing for accessibility, adaptability, and growth with more office space, larger meeting rooms, a classroom space, storage, and public restrooms
- Restoring and honoring the historic character of the building
In addition to rebuilding the farmhouse, our Facilities Team is working in partnership with our Board of Directors and staff to develop site and facilities plans that align with our ongoing evolutionary vision. We have lots of work to do! Stay tuned as we will continue to share our progress and seek your input along the way.
