2011 Annual Report

Sun reflects off vernal pools on newly protected land near Black Creek Scenic Hudson recently received the Land Trust Alliance’s highest honor, the National Land Trust Excellence Award, in recognition of our leadership in securing lands and revitalizing waterfronts of the Hudson Valley. We are grateful for this tribute from our national partner for our James Goodfellow and Ned Sullivan past achievements and our readiness to face the great challenges ahead, and to you for your pivotal role as a valued investor in our work. Scenic Hudson is a catalyst for collaboration, and our accomplishments last year highlight our ability to forge diverse, successful partnerships. Working with land trusts, governments and citizens, we protected more than 1,100 breathtaking acres and opened four spectacular parks along the river. Those projects created nearly 350 vital construction jobs at a time when our economy and workforce needed them most. We safeguarded over 300 acres of farmland that supplies fresh, healthy food, and we are close to completing an initiative to protect 10 more farms spanning 700 acres. In our advocacy work, we ensured that a powerline, still under review, would be diverted from ecologically sensitive areas, and we continue to watchdog GE’s PCB cleanup. These victories provide lasting benefits. They support robust tourism and agricultural economies. Preserved farmland is essential to meet growing demands for locally grown food. New parks spark downtown revitalization. All of the lands we protect make our air and drinking water cleaner. And a Hudson safe for swimming and fishing could propel the region into a whole new orbit of economic opportunity. Most importantly, our work directly impacts so many lives—by connecting people to the valley’s world-class natural resources. Once again large-scale development proposals are advancing through regulatory hurdles, ready for the recovery of the real estate market. These poorly conceived projects could obliterate forests, pave over farmland and pollute wetlands. Now is the time to Save the Land That Matters Most! We’re enormously grateful for your generous support of Scenic Hudson. With allies like you, we’ll continue achieving lasting results.
