Catskill Mountainkeeper, the non-profit environmental organization dedicated to protecting the Catskill Region, is emphasizing the importance of community involvement following the recent election. The organization stresses the need for grassroots action to address critical issues facing the region, particularly climate change, which is it says it “a nonpartisan challenge that affects us all.”

Catskill Mountainkeeper plans to engage with newly elected officials to advocate for the Catskills’ needs at the local, state, and federal levels. The organization’s first step will be to meet with newly elected members and representatives to discuss its top priorities for 2025.

Jason Dole spoke to Ramsey Adams, Executive Director of Catskill Mountainkeeper, about the presidential election’s outcome on local and state climate goals.
