Desde el inicio, nuestro enfoque ha sido proteger las tierras que definieron los Estados Unidos.

Empezando con nuestra exitosa campaña para proteger Storm King Mountain, la dramática entrada norte a las tierras altas del Hudson, Scenic Hudson se ha comprometido a salvaguardar los paisajes que han definido la historia y la cultura de nuestra región y nuestra nación.

Nuestro enfoque de gran escala centra sus esfuerzos de conservación en proteger los paisajes para garantizar que las personas visitantes y residentes puedan admirar las mismas perspectivas que inspiraron a tantas personas en el pasado.

Dichas vistas despertaron la creatividad de la primera generación de pintores de la Escuela del Río Hudson; fueron figura prominente en el diseño de la casa obra maestra de Frederic Church, Olana; y dieron sustento al presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt durante los días oscuros de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando escribió: “Todo dentro de mí grita por volver a mi casa en el río Hudson”.
