Current Issues
The active campaigns we're putting energy into right now — plus a recent-history archive of fights that shaped the region.
Active campaigns
Where we're organizing, testifying, and pushing local boards today.
Warehouses & Data Centers
Pushing back on hyperscale warehouse sprawl and energy- and water-hungry data centers reshaping Orange County — and weighing in on proposed land-use regulation changes.
ReThink Rt. 17 Coalition
$1B in NYS infrastructure funds is slated to widen Rt. 17 across Orange and Sullivan counties. We're leading a coalition for a smarter alternative.
Quassaick Creek Greenway Project
Watershed profile, outfall inventory, riparian-buffer model ordinances, and a volunteer monitoring corps for the Quassaick watershed.
Climate Change & Resilience
Local action on emissions, energy, and adaptation — including community workshops supported by the Eachus grant.
Pollinator Project
A regional initiative to restore biological connectivity by converting private lawns into a contiguous pollinator corridor. Our native-plants program lives here too.
Moonbeam & Mt. Lookout Preserves
Protecting the prehistoric Dutchess Quarry Caves and adjacent open space in Goshen from proposed land sale and development pressure.
Recent history & legacy campaigns
Long-running fights that defined our decades — kept online for the record and because most of them are still worth watching.
Harriman Sewage Treatment Plant
A proposed 50% expansion that would discharge 9 million gallons/day into the Ramapo River.
CPV & Danskammer Plants
35+ years of advocacy for clean air against fossil-fuel power plants in Wawayanda and Newburgh.
Save the Caves at Mt. Lookout
Preserving Goshen's prehistoric Dutchess Quarry Caves — used by humans as early as 12,000 years ago — from a proposed land sale.
