Mohonk Preserve is a mid-sized nonprofit dedicated to protecting the northern Shawangunk Ridge in the Hudson Valley of New York. It oversees more than 8,000 acres of ridges, forests, streams, ponds, and other natural features, and it welcomes over 200,000 visitors each year. The organization advances its mission through four program areas—environmental education, conservation programs, stewardship, and a focus on providing a high-quality visitor experience—supported by volunteers, donors, and staff. Based in Gardiner, New York, the preserve offers outdoor activities such as hiking, running, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and climbing on the region’s renowned cliffs. Its work serves visitors, outdoor enthusiasts, volunteers, and supporters who seek access to a protected landscape while maintaining ecological integrity. The organization operates within the conservation nonprofit sector and is recognized as New York's largest nonprofit nature preserve. In 2023, Mohonk Preserve partnered with Leave No Trace Inc. to support on-site education and stewardship programs addressing environmental challenges in the area.
