At holiday time, we reflect on what is most meaningful to us: family, friends and community. At the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, we are grateful to have you as a part of our family of supporters. Your investment in HHLT is critical to the continuation of our work. Here are just a few of our many successes in 2012:
- Partnerships with individual private land owners and other conservation organizations have resulted in an additional 180 acres forever protected in the Hudson Highlands.
- Collaborations with local municipalities have produced multiple positive outcomes, with balanced municipal land use policies that will benefit our communities for years to come.
- Heightened awareness of the importance of open space and natural resource protection for residents of all ages through fun and informative community outreach projects, including our hike series, children's environmental education program, River of Words, and From Peas to Bees community forum this past spring.
- Great initial strides on our Legacy Landscapes Project--a pro-active plan that identifies parcels throughout the Land Trust's mission area that are critical land protection priorities.
With your help, we can continue to advance the level and pace of land conservation in the Hudson Highlands in 2013. If you have not already done so, please act now and make a contribution as 2012 comes to a close. Making a tax-deductible gift online is quick, easy and secure.
We wish you the best the holiday season has to offer. Thank you for your support today and always!

 Enjoy the Outdoors this Winter by Planning Ahead
Winter is a wonderful time to be outdoors--ice skating, skiing, sledding or hiking--and with children home from school, you'll want to bring them along, too. Remember that although December has started off mildly, temperatures can drop quickly. Dress in layers, and don't underestimate the amount of food and water you'll need. Your body is working hard to keep you warm.
If you're not an experienced winter hiker, stick to trails you know and make sure you'll be home well before the sun sets. It may be best to plan in terms of time outside instead of distance travelled if you're hiking with small children. There's lots to see in winter--like birds' nests now visible on bare trees--and you'll want to give them time to enjoy it all. Be safe and have fun!
