ou deserve clean water. Children deserve parks where they can explore nature. You deserve to keep the breathtaking vistas that lift your soul.

Make it happen. Become a Hudson Valley Hero.

Hudson Valley Heroes are neighbors, local businesses and public offi cials taking responsibility for the Hudson River Valley. Together we are rolling up our sleeves for riverfront cleanups, leading school field trips to the river's edge, funding land preservation and affecting the course of public policy as Internet-savvy advocates.

So go ahead, inspire us. Write letters, volunteer in one of our parks, recruit lots of friends and donate as generously as you can. And don't forget to take the Hudson Valley Heroes Pledge.

Working side-by-side, we can have a healthy river valley.

Our Heroes Speak Out:

		"Two weeks fixing trails at Mount Beacon was great. The experience brought to life the valley's history and beauty. I'll stay involved with the river." - Deborah Mack, age 15, is one of our Landmark Volunteers

		"It's wonderful volunteering for Scenic Hudson. Their work is nothing short of miraculous. Whether I'm organizing readings, picking up along the river or sending money, it's an honor to help preserve and regenerate our cultural landscape." - Jane Heidgerd organizes poetry readings at Poets' Walk Park

		"We never tire of looking at the Hudson and rejoice that it's now clean enough for swimming. The river is a constant source of nourishment and must be protected for future generations at all costs." - Longtime supporters Jo and Peter Baer mobilize residents in Rockland

		"Nothing satisfies me more than seeing people enjoy the river. They come back to my shop after a kayak tour mesmerized by the beauty of the Hudson River and invigorated from their paddling adventure." - Great River Sweep veteran and Hudson Valley Outfitter owner Teri Barr helps hundreds of people enjoy the river every year

		"I love volunteering with Scenic Hudson and introducing people to the public parks they have protected for us all. The river is our legacy, and I'm proud to show it off." - Barb Davis, volunteer tour guide, on why she volunteers with Scenic Hudson

		"Surprisingly my students often know more about lions in Africa than they understand about their own region. Scenic Hudson's volunteer programs connect my students with the natural world and instill in them an appreciation for the richness of our valley." - Barry Hopkins, teacher and naturalist, inspires budding environmentalists
