Starting back with the ice age, and moving on to the First Peoples and the early Dutch settlements, you can see its history in the contours of the land.
I love being part of a community that has so much diversity in growing food —to be able to grow food and have healthy food at a local farm near me.

You got to protect it because people need to be outside in nature. It's very important to the soul, the physical health.
In a world where water is becoming a limited resource, we have a lot of it. It's fun to explore. That means good fishing, good kayaking, good swimming when it's hot, and I think we're all very lucky to have it.
The Hudson Valley provides a wide variety of ways to experience New York.
I love the Hudson Valley because it's an oasis for nature. W hen I come out here, I can breathe....Everyone should have access to nature.

It’s not just a place to live — it’s a home.
I love that we have well-defined, four seasons that inspire the human spirit and creativity, but you don't have to be an artist or a poet to appreciate it.
We have to preserve the Hudson Valley because it is naturally beautiful. It's inspired lots of artist to come here over hundreds of years. And before that it was a sacred space for the Native American people.
We've lived here for well over 40 years. We've raised our children here, and we've seen the quality of life improve as areas have grown in being protected.
I love that we have a sense of community here, and that sense of community often revolves around seasons and growth.

Stepping up to ensure this beautiful place endures for future generations.
The Hudson Valley is an open classroom for me where I get to learn about the ecosystem while being able to do a lot of outdoor activities. We need to be able to share this with generations to come and to protect the fragile ecosystem we call home.
