Today at 5:15 we will speak with Scenic Hudson President Ned Sullivan about major funding announced today for protecting farms in Dutchess and Columbia Counties.

Today at 10:30 a.m., at Northwind Farms in Red Hook, an official from the U.S. Department of Agriculture joins Scenic Hudson, Dutchess Land Conservancy, public officials and local farmers to announce a major initiative to preserve Hudson Valley farms—on highly scenic and prime agricultural acres in Dutchess County and Columbia County. These conservation victories are part of Scenic Hudson’s ongoing, collaborative Saving the Land That Matters Most campaign, which seeks to protect lands of the highest agricultural, scenic and ecological importance throughout the Hudson Valley.
