Rising sea and river levels, droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures are here and will be increasing in frequency. The actions we take now will make all the difference in how we weather the literal storms ahead. We are using creative tools and techniques to work toward a future that balances and reduces risks to people, property, and nature while promoting a secure, thriving Hudson Valley with a vibrant, healthy ecosystem. With your help, we can ensure everyone has a say in how we grow resilience and create new opportunities in our communities in the face of what’s ahead.

Pilgrim Pipelines (Hudson Valley)
We engaged people and communities to oppose this proposal to construct two crude oil pipelines through the valley. The outcry against the project led to its abandonment, halting potential environmental, public health, and safety threats.
LG Headquarters (Englewood, NJ)
In a “win-win” for the environment and the economy, LG Electronics reached an agreement with Scenic Hudson and partners to reduce the height of its proposed corporate tower atop the Palisades, preserving magnificent views and keeping jobs in the region.
Expanded Crude Oil Operations (Albany)
Decreasing the likelihood of hazardous spills and health threats in local neighborhoods, Global Partners decided not to build new crude oil facilities. We partnered in opposing the expanded operations.
