Join Hudson Valley Seed Company co-founder and managing director Doug Muller for a behind-the-scenes look at seed farming in the Hudson Valley!

The Hudson River and its nearby waterways are lifelines connecting us to each other and our local ecosystems. We delight in ice floes cracking in the winter air, eagles hunting along a river's shores, and spending a warm afternoon on a lake's cooling waters. Most importantly, these places sustain life. But our essential water sources–and our lives along them–face a host of challenges amid the changing climate.

Our 2025 cohort of grantees represents youth-led projects that are as innovative in their approaches as they are committed to environmental sustainability. Ecological restoration plans shaped to transform communities, novel pathways to reconnect ourselves with our aquatic friends, and educational programs set to unite generations make up just a handful of the 19 projects you’ll find.

The funding will advance PCA’s work in supporting at-risk pollinator populations throughout the Hudson Valley, specifically on working farms and residential landscapes, as part of the PollinateHV initiative.  

One of the biggest challenges to environmental work is, surprisingly, often not the actual work but our ability to collaborate. Tune in to our Morning Coffee webinar to hear from Renee Lertzman, climate psychologist, environmental strategist, and creator of Project Inside Out. Renee has worked for years helping people move beyond the usual strategies of urging and cajoling people. Instead, she will share tips on finding common ground and ways to catalyze action where it seemed previously impossible.

Discover the history of deer in New York and how deer populations skyrocketed to their current levels, endangering the future of our forests and learn what we can do to protect and steward the forests and flowers we love in the face of this ecological emergency. We'll cover potential policy changes, long-term strategies, and actions you can take right now in your own backyard.

PCA announces is a new training and grant program with up to $22,000 for four communities in the Hudson Valley. We’ll guide you through nonpartisan ways to dig in with your community and figure out how to preserve and protect the natural resources on which you rely. PCA sees this as the basis for strong communities and a healthy environment in the Hudson Valley.
