Get Involved
If you have two minutes or two weeks, Scenic Hudson needs you. We can't protect our awe-inspiring landscapes, revive riverfront communities, champion sensible development or fight for healthy air and water without your support.
Don't Take The Cement Plant Threat Lying Down
Speak up for yourself and your family by opposing the massive coal-fired cement complex proposed for Columbia County. If we don't stop it, this huge industrial, open-pit mining project will hurt our health and economy.
  • Write a check for our ongoing battle against a well-funded international corporation.
  • Send your e-mail address so we can keep you updated, hvpc@scenichudson.org.
  • Tell Gov. George E. Pataki that you oppose the plant because it would damage our health and economy.
