ABOUT US
We are a diverse gathering of hundreds of people who live, work and enjoy this
magnificent region of the Hudson River Valley. As stewards of this special
place, we believe that it is essential to conserve our natural surrounding for
future generations, We seek to preserve the special character of the Highlands
through land conservation, advocacy, educational programs and the promotion of
sound land-use planning.
The water and lands of the Hudson Highlands contain some of the most
biologically diverse flora and fauna in the United States. Some plants and
animals found here exist nowhere else. The estuarine water of the Hudson River
and the distinctive geological formation of the Highlands create a landscape
unlike any found in the United States. Our landscape is unique and relatively
rural in character, and deserving of special protection.
The Hudson Highlands Land Trust has been working privately with landowners since
1989, when local residents united to form an organization that would provide
conservation options for individuals. Since then, we have collaborated with
landowners, municipalities and regional conservation organizations to preserve
hundreds of acres of land.
