Fishkill, Dutchess County - The Scenic Hudson Land Trust has protected more than 1,900 acres of Fishkill Ridge, the northern gateway to the fabled Hudson Highlands. This rugged conservation area is home to eagles, falcons and numerous rare species.
Scenic Hudson continues its fight to preserve the ridge from desecration by a proposed mining project that would remove 50 million tons of rock during the next 140 years.
The site is owned by The Scenic Hudson Land Trust and managed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. |
