SCENIC HUDSON

Founded in 1963 to save iconic Storm King Mountain from a destructive industrial project, Scenic Hudson is credited with launching the modern grassroots environmental movement. Today, with more than 25,000 ardent supporters, we are the largest environmental group in the region... In the face of new and ongoing challenges - as well as the effects of climate change - we remain committed to making the Hudson Valley a great place to live, work and play by preserving and strengthening the region's great assets - beautiful open spaces, working farms, and historic cities and town centers... In 2008, Scenic Hudson became one of the nation's first land trusts to be recognized for meeting the highest standards in conserving land for public benefit. This gold seal of credibility came from the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance.
