Our vision for Sam's Point - and the Shawangunk Ridge as a whole - is a shared one. Success in protecting the land, water, plants, and animals that make this area special requires that we all work together. Local communities, private donors, foundations, other not-for-profits and governmental agencies all provide support that is essential to protecting Sam's Point and the Shawangunks, now and in the future.
