Connecting communities with the landscapes that shape them - Every piece of land conserved is not only an opportunity to protect our region's air, water, vistas, and wildlife, but also an opportunity for meaningful connection. That's why we are focused on creating beautiful parks and outdoor spaces where people can commune with nature and one another. We have more than 45 featured parks and have contributed to more than two dozen additional preserves, historic sites, and trails. In Kingston, Newburgh, and Poughkeepsie, we are keeping a special focus on urban conservation and farming to close the nature and fresh food gaps in the cities along the Hudson.

Partnering to power and feed a changing Hudson Valley We are working to counter the threats from our warming planet to the beautiful landscapes, vibrant communities, and quality of life in the Hudson Valley by advancing the region's transition to renewable energy. We're also focused on sustaining the farmland that has defined and nourished this region for centuries. We have partnered with farmers to protect 23,000 acres on more than 150 farms over the last three decades. We also promote regenerative practices that not only reduce agricultural carbon emissions but support soil health and resiliency in the face of destructive flooding, droughts, and storms, helping farmers stay in business.
