"As a landowner, ecological designer, and community organizer, I find the Catskill Center to be an invaluable local resource — my go-to organization for research, recreation, and inspiration. “

“As a member, I know my small annual donation goes a long way to support the hard work of protecting, promoting, advocating, and educating.
“Over the last couple of years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet other members, partnering organizations, and the folks behind the scenes at the annual Outdoor Event and last year’s Fall Gala, which celebrated the organization’s 50th anniversary. I’ve been so impressed by the richness of our community and the enormity of the area the Catskill region covers (10% of the state). The park alone is close to 700,000 acres, and the Catskill Region is five times that! For a small organization, they accomplish a lot and seem to have fun doing it.
“The Center is more than just an environmental organization with the best map of hiking trails; they are our economic and cultural stewards, and, as the climate crisis intensifies, they provide a source of inspiration and direction. I look forward to learning and getting more involved each year.”
