The Hudson River School Art Trail Elizabeth Jacks, Executive Director, Thomas Cole National Historic Site

Outstanding quality of life is achievable only when a clean, healthy environment is a key component of economic development. All citizens have a right to outstanding quality of life, including access to our Hudson River, to open space and to participate in community decision-making. Our natural environment is an irreplaceable source of spiritual and artistic vitality and must be preserved forever.
