Preserving Natural Treasures

Inspiring and invigorating—the unspoiled lands and waters of the Hudson Valley invite contemplation and recreation, as well as provide a prescription-free antidote to stress. Scenic Hudson keeps protecting “must-save” places because they make such a difference in people’s lives.

People of all abilities will enjoy the nature trails and kayak launch at the new 231-acre park Dutchess Tyler Blodgett County is creating around Lake Walton in East Fishkill.

Scenic Hudson initially protected this land, which provides Robert Rodriguez, Jr. habitat for abundant wildlife (right). Prior to transferring it to the county, we removed tons of debris. Located adjacent to the popular Dutchess Rail Trail, this will be the county’s first universally accessible park.

Enhancing recreational and educational opportunities for visitors to Columbia County’s Stockport Flats— a destination for paddling (top right), fishing and birdwatching—we conserved 117 acres, including nearly 1.5 miles along (an important Hudson River tributary) and a nine-acre island.

Preserving magnificent vistas that draw visitors to Mills-Norrie State Park and other outdoor attractions, we protected 27 riverfront acres in Ulster County that sit between our Esopus Meadows Preserve and 106 acres we preserved in 2013. In addition to safeguarding the property’s natural gems—a gravel beach (bottom right), riverfront bluffs and dramatic bedrock “spine”— this transaction will allow us to double the size of the preserve.

Conserving Family Farms

Along with supplying us with the freshest food, Hudson Valley farms contribute to the $5.7 billion in revenue that New York agriculture generates each year. Keeping people—and rural economies—healthy is why Scenic Hudson partners with farm families to conserve their productive fields and orchards.*

Farms we protected this year supply local and New York City markets with everything from bison to blueberries. Some of our transactions provided long-time farmers with resources to expand, while others made land affordable for young farmers. On one project in Orange County, where development pressures are especially severe, we partnered in utilizing two innovative new tools to ensure a working farm will never stop working. It requires any future sale to be to a farmer at a price reflecting the land’s agricultural value, and the new owner to maintain production. This means the fresh food pipeline will keep flowing right to your table.

Providing Outdoor Adventures

Whether you’re eager to take a casual stroll, bike up a mountain trail, or just sit and admire a magnificent sunset, parks created or enhanced by Scenic Hudson have just what you’re looking for. And we keep providing new opportunities to connect with nature, whatever your pace.

Our Long Dock Park in Beacon has been a big hit since its 2011 opening. Now, its popularity has reached new heights thanks to a four-acre addition (on left in photo below) featuring shade pavilions, a river overlook, a set-up for food trucks and picnic tables to enjoy their fare. We also completed renovation of the park’s award-winning kayak pavilion, assuring it will remain the go-to destination for paddling in Newburgh Bay.

Opened in April, the state’s Charles Flood Wildlife Management Area at the Empire Brickyard in Columbia County (right) offers hikers a great new place to explore bird-filled grasslands, dramatic bluffs and ravines, and views encompassing the Catskill, Taconic and Berkshire mountains. Scenic Hudson protected this ecological powerhouse in 2015 and transferred it to the state last year. The 590-acre preserve Matt Kennedy is named in memory of a longtime Scenic Hudson supporter whose generosity enabled us to conserve it.

And helping to complete the Empire State Trail, which will run from New York City to Buffalo, we provided funds for constructing a new portion of the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Ulster County. This trail links to Walkway Over the Hudson—celebrating its 10th anniversary this fall—at the Scenic Hudson Gate. Eva Deitch

Engaging Citizen Activists

People do make a difference. By informing and mobilizing citizens to take a stand against threats to their environment and quality of life, Scenic Hudson secures potent partners.

Karen Pearson Following months of community-based advocacy to keep open cherished places for fishing, boating and hunting, Amtrak announced in January that it was withdrawing plans to build fences at riverfront sites in Dutchess and Columbia counties. A month earlier, we introduced a study highlighting barrier-free alternatives that would improve rail safety without blocking public access, and shared it with more than 100 local officials and citizens at a forum. Amtrak isn’t abandoning the plan, but says it will work with communities and state agencies to revise it.

A groundswell of opposition to a plan to construct a new air-choking and climate- warming fossil-fuel plant in Ulster County resulted in the company replacing it with a proposal for a 100% renewable energy project. We provided legal and technical support to the local coalition against the plant.

More air and water and a blow to the state’s ambitious efforts to combat climate change—that’s what’s at stake if the proposed Danskammer natural gas power plant in the Town of Newburgh, Orange County, gets built. Spearheading efforts to halt it, we hosted information sessions that attracted 500 concerned citizens. We inspired them and hundreds more opponents of the facility to send public comments to the state’s Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment, urging it not to give the required approval.

We also continued our 40-year campaign for a healthy Hudson River. Our advocacy in Washington helped spur the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to admit that it cannot determine if General Electric’s cleanup of cancer-causing PCBs it dumped in the river will at any point in the future meet the minimum threshold of a federal Superfund project—to protect human health and the environment. Scientific data clearly show that more work is needed, so we will keep pushing for a more comprehensive cleanup. At the same time, we’re working to ensure that the river receives the greatest possible amount of funds from GE under the Natural Resource Damage portion of the Superfund cleanup—to restore damaged habitats and other waterfront resources. Eva Deitch Building Community

Energizing & Empowering Youth

The earlier young people engage with nature, the more likely they develop a lifelong attachment to it. In Poughkeepsie, the enthusiasm of children attending the annual Summer Learning Academy sessions (left page) led by Scenic Hudson educators bodes well for our planet’s future. In field trips toseveral of our parks, the sixth-graders enjoyed lessons about water quality and how a healthy river depends on stopping pollution from flowing into it. At the end of the program, they shared their new knowledge with visitors at the city’s waterfront park. We also introduced Poughkeepsie elementary students to the surprising variety of creatures inhabiting Creek, which flows past their school.

Across the river in Newburgh, we continued our partnership with Newburgh Free Academy’s P-Tech program (below). Via in-class lessons and field trips to local parks, our educators helped high-schoolers learn about threats that climate change pose to the region and their city, and they explored the benefits local residents receive from open spaces. The students helped plan and run our annual Newburgh Winterfest, engaging their neighbors to help restore this natural treasure in their “backyard.”

In Kingston, Scenic Hudson’s Juniper Flats Preserve remains a primary “outdoor classroom” for city schoolchildren. For many of them, the field trips led by Wild Earth provide their first hands-on contact with nature. Also, we provided support for the Kingston Maritime Museum to launch Solaris, the first solar-powered boat operating on the Hudson. It provides a great new “floating classroom” for teaching about the city’s river-based history as well as lessons in ecology, aquatic habitats and rising sea levels. Building Community Tyler Blodgett

Embracing Civic Pride

Bringing together partners to restore a community’s natural and cultural assets—those places that make it unique—can be a key to supporting residents’ efforts to strengthen their neighborhoods.

Recognizing and preserving a vital but long-forgotten aspect of Kingston’s past, Scenic Hudson partnered with local groups to protect the site of the Pine Street African Burial Ground, the final resting place of dozens, if not hundreds, of enslaved African Americans. It’s the first step in creating a “mini-museum” tracing the substantial contributions these men and women made to the city’s early development. “Rise up and live in us, and we will not fail to honor you,” said one speaker at a moving ceremony Seth McKee (top right) celebrating the land’s future. Eva Deitch

Making it possible to enjoy magnificent views of the Hudson River and Highlands just minutes from downtown Newburgh, we worked with dozens of volunteers to complete a 1.5-mile trail leading from city-owned parkland around Crystal Lake—whose cleanup we spearheaded—to the top of our Snake Hill property. The 200-plus children and parents who attended our annual Newburgh Winterfest in February enjoyed guided snowshoe treks (bottom right) on the new trail and other fun activities.

Poughkeepsie residents have a bigger place to explore nature and history right in the heart of their city. We collaborated in conserving two acres containing a key feature of the Springside estate designed by Andrew Jackson Downing. A National Historic Landmark open daily to the public, Springside is the only largely intact work by the “father” of American landscape architecture. Also committed to enhancing the enjoyment and safety of city parks in Poughkeepsie’s Northside neighborhood, we co-hosted a series of events that brought together local residents to share ideas about making them safer and healthier, and organized several volunteer cleanups (right). Strengthening Resiliency

Responding to the Challenge of Climate Change

Over the last seven decades, 18 of the 19 warmest years have occurred since 2001. Halting this “new normal” depends, in large part, on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

New York’s new Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act mandates transitioning to a statewide electrical system producing zero carbon emissions by 2040. To help the region do its part in achieving this goal, we have ramped up efforts to promote the smart-from-the-start approach outlined in Clean Energy, Green Communities, our guide to siting renewable energy. We’re engaging more municipalities and developers to achieve early consensus on where new solar facilities belong and how they can be designed to minimize environmental impacts.

We’re also exploring ways to provide incentives for farmers to embrace regenerative agriculture—methods that not only reduce a farm’s carbon footprint but make its soils more productive and climate-resilient. Results of a six-month study Scenic Hudson commissioned that received feedback from nearly 200 farmers and other agricultural stakeholders show promising opportunities to promote greenhouse gas mitigation on farms we seek to conserve in the future. Now, we’re talking with farmers, governments and other nonprofit groups about taking steps to implement the study’s recommendations. And we continue collaborating in research being undertaken to verify the ecological and climate impacts of regenerative farming at the Scenic Hudson Soil Lab on Old Mud Creek Farm in Livingston, Columbia County (left). Abby Rockefeller, who worked with us to protect the farm in 2015, founded this visionary project with Benjamin Banks-Dobson. We also successfully advocated for state funding to collect additional data about the effectiveness of regenerative agriculture from five valley farms that will participate in the two-year initiative.

Making it easier to start planning for rising sea levels and more frequent storm surges, Scenic Hudson scientists played a leading role in the launch of the Hudson River Flood Resilience Network. This group of municipalities and organizations is eager to share data, expertise and adaptation strategies with local officials, developers, businesses and residents. Strengthening Resiliency

Keeping Wildlife Safe & Healthy

We’re working to ensure the plants and animals that contribute to the Hudson Valley’s remarkable biological diversity—and benefit people in so many ways—have a fighting chance to survive in our changing climate.

The land Scenic Hudson conserved along Stockport Creek will help to prevent pollution along one of the Hudson’s largest freshwater tributaries. That’s critical not only for maintaining the river’s water quality, but for sustaining the many imperiled fish species—including sturgeon and shad— that spawn or feed in the stream and tidal wetlands at its mouth.

Protecting the 27-acre property (bottom left) that links our Esopus Meadows Preserve with lands we preserved in 2013 helps to safeguard a 1.2-mile stretch of unspoiled riverfront along one of the prime breeding grounds for striped bass, and over 600 acres of intact forest, a rarity along this stretch of the Hudson. Together, these lands preserve migration pathways on which many wildlife species depend.

At the same time, we continue making our parks as wildlife-friendly as Jeff Mertz possible—by managing meadows that furnish habitat for grassland birds (whose populations are in rapid decline), removing fast-growing invasive plants that crowd out native species, and planting native trees and shrubs Robert Rodriguez, Jr. Rodriguez, Robert (top left) that provide shelter and food for birds, insects and mammals.
