A Delicate Balance
Less than 50 miles north of New York City, the Hudson Highlands region is rich in scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities. HHLT works to protect biodiversity and natural resources, address climate change, and create opportunities for people to experience the benefits of being in nature.
