Program accomplishments
- 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.Expenses $2,996,822 · revenue $2,088,262
- Protecting the health and vitality of the land that sustains us What started with a targeted push to save Storm King from an industrial project has evolved into the steady conservation of more than 50,000 acres of land across the region almost four times the size of the island of Manhattan. We remain committed to making the Hudson Valley a great place to live, work, and play by protecting and enhancing the region's great assets beautiful open spaces, working farms, and historic cities and town centers. Our work doesn't stop once land is conserved. We are leading innovative projects to protect the long-term health of Hudson Valley forests and increase regeneration.Expenses $2,575,647 · revenue $1,794,777
- 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.Expenses $2,235,468 · grants $8,000 · revenue $1,557,731
- Innovating to create inspiring spaces and lasting solutions for generations to come - While much of our work is focused on preserving the natural treasures of the Hudson Valley, what sets us apart is our ability to see untapped potential and to back ideas with action. We've cleaned up more than a dozen industrial sites on both sides of the Hudson, from Yonkers to Albany including our new offices and community space at the Northside Hub in Poughkeepsie. Community powers our solutions, from community-led observation to bridge the data gap in urban ecosystems, to our 40-year campaign urging the Environmental Protection Agency to require General Electric to fully clean up PCBs in the Hudson River.Expenses $1,911,487 · grants $2,000 · revenue $1,331,972
