We have been protecting the spectacular landscapes that make the Hudson Highlands special for 35 years. To date, we have conserved thousands of acres of critical habitat, natural landscapes, and unsurpassed scenic resources. We have partnered with private landowners to complete 94 conservation easements, protecting their properties across 2,594 acres. We own and manage five properties totaling almost 1,042 acres, including three preserves that are open to the public. We have worked with New York State, the National Park Service, and conservation partners to protect thousands of additional acres in our mission area.
Our goal is to protect a variety of landscapes. By conserving forests and fields, waterways and viewsheds, we provide an opportunity for future generations to have access to unique recreational resources, resilient forests, scenic beauty, and open spaces that contribute to the health and productivity of our local communities.
