Scenic Hudson works to make sure that the valley’s beauty, health and prosperity stay on our government's front burner.

Our experts in public policy and advocacy work with government agencies and elected officials to get support for our overall goals of saving the land that matters most and protecting waterfronts as a public and natural resource.

Over the past 40 years, our work has played a key role in establishing many environmental initiatives that have had a tremendous impact on the region including the Hudson River Estuary Program, the Coastal Management Program, the Hudson River Valley Greenway, the Clean Water Act, the Hudson Valley Community Preservation Act, and the National Heritage Area Designation.
