Vision

Our mission supports a vision of the Hudson Highlands where wildlife thrives in a healthy, connected, climate-resilient landscape and people enjoy equitable access to nature’s benefits. We cannot achieve this vision alone. HHLT engages in inclusive and creative partnerships across the Highlands region to ensure we address the interconnected needs of the human and natural communities we serve.

Goals

1. 1.Conserving Land: Conserving land to protect natural resources, ecological integrity, and the Hudson Highlands’ scenic landscape is a primary focus of HHLT.
2. 2.Caring For The Land: HHLT is committed to promoting science-based land stewardship throughout the Hudson Highlands. Our stewardship of the properties we own will be of the highest environmental standard and a model of natural resource integrity for our community. We also collaborate with our easement landowners to enhance the protection and conservation values of their properties.
3. 3.Engaging Our Communities: Through our outreach initiatives and community events, HHLT raises public awareness of conservation and sustainability among community members of all ages. We also collaborate with municipalities to advocate for a balance of economic growth and protection of natural resources, as well as the protection of open space and water quality for the communities we serve.
