Catskill Mountainkeeper

Established in 2006, Catskill Mountainkeeper is the strongest advocate for the Catskill region. Working with a network of concerned citizens and strategic partners, Mountainkeeper's programs protect and promote our region's extraordinary natural heritage, while promoting smart development that supports local communities and grows our economy in a sustainable way. Over the past decade, Mountainkeeper has worked to protect our region’s pristine wild areas and open spaces from threats ranging from fracking to outsized development projects to the invasion of dirty and dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure, while building ecotourism, supporting farmers, and standing behind local businesses to support local communities and to build a stronger sustainable economic future. Mountainkeeper works to fend off threats to the region’s natural heritage, pristine beauty, and abundant natural resources, including our beloved Catskill Park and the watershed that provides drinking water for many millions of people in the New York city area. Because economic sustainability is a big component of conservation, Mountainkeeper's programs also seek to support the region’s twin economic drivers of tourism and farming. All our work is made possible through the dedication of our activists, supporters, and partners, who provide critical funds and people power to drive our programs. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Catskill Mountainkeeper relies on tax-deductible contributions to further our mission.
