THE STORY:
Rock The Ridge is a 50-mile endurance challenge and environmental fundraiser set in the natural beauty of Mohonk Preserve. The goal is to run, walk or hike the course within 24 hours.
Our award-winning Land Protection, Land Stewardship, Environmental Education and Conservation Science programs all work to protect an iconic landscape named one of “Earth’s Last Great Places,” and reach beyond the borders of our over 8,000 acres.
Mohonk Preserve is home to stunning mountain ridges, forests, fields, streams, ponds, and other unique environments. Your gift today will help save the land for life by:
- safeguarding clean water integral to the health of the Hudson River and New York’s water supply;
- protecting critical habitat for wildlife like the Peregrine Falcon, which is listed as an endangered species in New York State; and
- inspiring the next generation of conservationists by providing accessible environmental education programs for kids and adults.
Help protect the Shawangunk Mountains region today for our water, our wildlife, and our children.
