About us
Mohonk Preserve protects the northern Shawangunk Ridge and inspires people to care for, enjoy and explore the natural world. In partnership with our members, supporters, and volunteers, we protect and manage over 8,000 acres of mountain ridges, forests, fields, streams, ponds, and other unique and beautiful places. As New York's largest nonprofit nature preserve, each year we welcome over 200,000 visitors. The Preserve's devoted volunteers, dedicated donors, and expert staff all work in harmony for a common cause - to create a place where people and nature thrive. To accomplish our goal of protecting one of the region's most treasured and beautiful places, we conduct programs in four key areas - environmental education, conservation programs, stewardship, and visitor experience. At the Preserve, you can enjoy scenic beauty, outdoor activities, and peace and quiet, all just 90 miles from New York City. Our carriage roads and trails are perfect for hiking, running, mountain biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. We're also the home of "Gunks" climbing and bouldering, and one of the most visited climbing destinations in North America. By visiting Mohonk Preserve, becoming a member, or making a donation, you help ensure that generations to come will be able to enjoy this special place.

Highlights from this month's Christmas Bird Count 🕊 Earlier this month, we carried on the Christmas Bird Count tradition at the Mohonk Mountain House, started by Dan Smiley in the 1950s! With an early morning start on the grounds of the Mountain House, program participants followed Dan Smiley's historic route to record the numbers and species of birds we saw during the morning. Learn more about the Christmas Bird Count, the nation's longest-running community science bird project here: https://lnkd.in/e4ETDVit Photos by Karen Harding and Bill Winter Photo descriptions: group of birders enjoying a brisk walk around the Mohonk Mountain House with Mohonk Preserve Educators.

"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it." - John Burroughs Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️ Photo: Cardinal in the snow by Marianne Markle, featured in the 2024 Mohonk Preserve Calendar for the month of December

Did you know that not all evergreens are pine trees? 🌲 There are many different kinds of cone bearing evergreen trees in our forests at Mohonk Preserve. Over the weekend, program participants joined Mohonk Preserve Education staff at the Visitor Center for a short hike to learn the difference between pines, spruces, firs and hemlocks.
