About Catskill Center

Since 1969, the Catskill Center has been protecting and fostering the environmental, cultural and economic well-being of the Catskill region. Our work in the Catskill region focuses on three main program areas: Collaboration: The Catskill Center works hard to preserve and foster the well-being of the Catskills by serving as a convener, fostering partnerships, facilitating discussions and supporting collaboration throughout our region. We chair the Catskill Park Advisory Committee, Co-Chair the Catskill Park Coalition, sponsor the annual Catskill Park Awareness Day, hold public forums on a number of different topics and take part in a multitude of other activities. Arts, Culture and Education: The Catskill Center supports arts, culture and education throughout the Catskills including at our headquarters in Arkville, at the Catskill Interpretive Center in Mount Tremper, the Artist in Residence Program at Platte Clove, and through educational curriculums for local schools and teachers. We provide scholarships to students from the Catskills for summer camps and colleges. At the Catskill Interpretive Center, we help visitors and residents alike learn about, explore and interpret the natural, cultural and historical resources of the Catskills. Stewardship: Through our stewardship programs including the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP), the Streamside Acquisition Program (SAP) and the Catskill Center Land Trust, we are working to protect and preserve the natural resources of the Catskills. CRISP is working to turn the tide on invasive species in the Catskills, the SAP is preserving forested, streamside lands essential for protecting water quality and our land trust holds conversation easements totaling 2,550 acres and owns four properties totaling 367 acres. These include our Thorn Preserve, Platte Clove Preserve and the lands of the Catskill Interpretive Center.
