The Catskill Mountains is a land of pristine water, protected woods and working landscapes.
The area draws a million visitors each year who come from near and far to hike, swim, camp, bird-watch, rock-climb, canoe, fish or simply go for meandering drives through the hills as leaves show their autumn colors.
Beginning in the 1970s, we have been hard at work conserving land in the legendary Catskill Mountains. In the years since, we have protected more than 20,000 acres in the scenic Valley surrounding the Beaverkill River, one of the world’s best fly-fishing streams.
