Preserving the natural environment of the Taconic Plateau.
Our Mission
The Taconic Plateau Foundation’s mission is to preserve wilderness areas of the Taconic Plateau in a natural state for the enjoyment of present and future generations, providing access for recreational, educational and research opportunities and promoting environmental conservation, sustainable forestry management and sustainable wildlife management.
Ecological Protection & Management
The Southern Taconic Range is home to over 150 rare and endangered species. Our unique corner of New England is under increasing development pressures that threaten to degrade this precious habitat. The Taconic Plateau Foundation has made it a priority to protect the diversity and ecology of the plants, animals and natural communities that currently exist in the Taconic Plateau area and to promote wildlife management on our lands.
