WHAT MOUNTAINKEEPER SUPPORTS, WHO WE REPRESENT, AND WHAT WE DO

We champion smart and sustainable growth.  Our vision for economic revitalization in the Catskills is a focus on the industries that we do best – like the resurgence of farming, farm to market efforts, main street revitalization, tourism and hotel development, the performing arts, alternate energy production and the advancement of higher education.  We strive to retain the characteristics that make us unique and special - our rural nature, wonderful vistas, open spaces and farmland.

WHO DO WE REPRESENT?

The citizens of seven counties in New York State – Albany, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster as well as both the Upper Delaware and Susquehanna River basins which reach from Cooperstown well into Pennsylvania and include the vast forest preserve of the Catskill Park.

WHAT DO WE DO?

• Research the issues facing the region
• Educate the public through community forums and meetings as well as the extensive information on this website.
• Organize coalitions of community groups to take action
• Lobby our government
• Take legal action when necessary
• And much more……
