The Mohonk Preserve is a refuge for wildlife, a living museum, and a sanctuary in nature for people.
The stark cliffs, exposed summits, and rocky plateaus of the Shawangunks provide refuge for a wealth of rare and endangered plants and animals that have adapted to these tough living conditions – including the endangered peregrine falcon and 2,000 acres of globally rare, dwarf pitch pine, stunted by the harsh growing conditions on the ridge.
Designated by The Nature Conservancy as one of Earth’s “Last Great Places,” the Shawangunks harbor more than 1,400 known species, including over 30 rare plants and animals. The Shawangunks’ interconnected, protected areas give black bears, bobcats, warblers, timber rattlesnakes, and other animals access to the diversity of shelter, food, and mates they need to survive.
