Thank you, everyone, for your support!

THANK YOU, REDWOOD!! This year's An Evening With Better Radio event brought in enough funds to cover our operating costs for a full year. We are immensely grateful to everyone who showed up, donated, contributed art, and listened in. Your support ensures the continuation of this weird and wonderful project.

The whole cultural phenomenon that is Better Radio depends on a brilliant ensemble of volunteer DJs and the unwavering commitment of the BetterArts board. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

Please join us for a very special fundraising event from 6-9 pm Saturday, May 30, for Better Radio, Redwood’s first-and only!—radio station.

The second annual An Evening With Better Radio provides vital support to our 100% volunteer-run and commercial-free station! The night features an open mic, trivia, cash bar, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, and silent auction. The event is hosted by our sister organization BetterArts, a Redwood nonprofit increasing access to the arts and owner-operator of Better Radio.

There is a suggested $10 donation to attend (day-of or in advance) but no barrier to entry. All are welcome!

If you’re interested in performing in the open mic portion of the evening or donating an item for our silent auction, please email [email protected]. Poets and storytellers also welcome at the open mic!

If you can’t attend, be sure to listen in live night-of at betterradio.airtime.pro or terrestrially at 88.5 FM. You can support this valuable work anytime at betterarts.org/donate

Thanks to for another set of sweet summer ‘dos for the alpacas 🦙

Did you know alpacas hate hot weather? They’re very sensitive to high-temp days so annual spring shearing is a must for these beauties. The fiber gets processed by regional mills and is available in our Etsy shop! All fiber sales go directly back into the care of these camelids. You can check out that gorgeous yarn at www.etsy.com/shop/BetterFarm

The project was a win but a daunting prospect, with a fundraising goal 200% larger than the largest project in TIWLT’s history at that time . . .

Children of all ages are invited to join us from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. this Saturday, May 2 for a free tree-planting event at Better Farm. We will be planting 50 red maple saplings, courtesy of New York State’s School Seedling Program, while teaching about ecosystems and the valuable role that trees play. Planting and tending these trees with young people offers a hands-on way to understand natural systems, observe their environment, and learn key vocabulary. Learn more at https://www.betterfarm.org/upcoming-events/2026/3/3/tree-planting-day-for-kids and email [email protected] to register.
