Background

The New Baltimore Conservancy was established as a 501(c)3 in 1999 but has existed as a community endeavor for over 30 years. We manage over 400 acres of properties owned by the New Baltimore Conservancy, Scenic Hudson Land Trust, and the Town of New Baltimore, designing and managing property trails with ongoing maintenance as well as larger-scale projects. Some of these projects include the creation of the world’s first recycled plastic bridge (completed in 2000), a scenic observation deck overlooking a tidal pond, barn and outbuilding restorations, and a boardwalk meandering through a marsh.

We sponsor informative trail and nature walks, clean-up days, Hudson River paddle events, and annual social events such as the Taste of History, Wine and Cheese on the Hudson River, Barn Party at Scenic Hudson’s Long View Park, and tours of historic homes where friends, neighbors, and guests gather.  We support numerous local artists, community project grants, and historic commemorations.  At our monthly meetings, we offer speakers and programs covering an array of topics.

Join us at any of the events and programs you find posted here and explore the splendid trails and properties we maintain!
