Historical Description:                                                                            

"The Catskill Center is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with a regional perspective that promotes the quality of life and environmental integrity in the Catskill region, an area encompassing the Catskill Mountains. Known as "First American Wilderness," the Catskills extend from the Helderberg escarpment overlooking our State Capitol in Albany southwardly along the Catskills escarpment overlooking the mighty Hudson River, to the rolling hills of Sullivan County, westerly to the lands memorialized by James Fenimore Cooper in the Leatherstocking region, and northerly to historic Rensselaerville, New York."
