The effects of climate change are already evident here in the Hudson Valley. Scenic Hudson actively works to lessen the magnitude of these impacts through conservation, planning, policy, and awareness. We’re also generating and sharing science-based best practices that will help communities become more resilient to what’s ahead.

Working with partners and community members throughout the region, we are developing groundbreaking tools, strategies, and initiatives to:

• Protect lands that make habitats more resilient to rising sea levels and increasing temperatures, and less predictable rainfall
• Promote renewable energy that avoids or reduces impacts to natural, areas, beautiful landscapes, and culturally significant sites
• Support and encourage use of regenerative farming practices for a more resilient food system
• Help Hudson Valley communities prepare for rising sea levels, extreme weather, and more frequent flooding

Our goal is to work toward a future that balances and reduces risks to people, lands, and nature and holds the promise of secure, thriving riverfront communities within a vibrant, healthy ecosystem.
