The Hudson Highlands is a rugged, iconic landscape just 50 miles north of New York City — where the Appalachian Trail meets the Hudson River. Forests, wetlands, streams, and dramatic ridgelines stretch across New York State to form one of the Northeast’s most ecologically rich and scenic regions. This extraordinary landscape supplies millions of people with clean drinking water, provides critical habitat for over 1,000 native plant species and countless wildlife, and offers meaningful access to nature for the more than 20 million people who live within a two-hour radius.
Donate today to protect the lands and waters of the Hudson Highlands — ensuring clean drinking water, thriving wildlife, and accessible natural spaces for generations to come.
