Welcome to the Catskill Center
Since 1969, The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development has worked to protect the natural resources of the Catskill Mountains and promote the economy for communities throughout the Catskill Region.
The Catskill Center fosters and protects the environmental, cultural and economic well being of the Catskill Mountain Region. Our interdisciplinary approach to protecting our ecosystems and creating vibrant communities encompasses five program areas – Regional Advocacy, Regional Planning, Invasive Species Program, Education, and Arts & Culture.
