Library by the F.D.R. Library, where it was donated by John Winthrop Aldrich on

Historical Note
The Hudson River Conservation Society was incorporated September 3, 1936 in order to
protect and maintain the beauties of the Hudson Valley, preserve its scenic and
historic landmarks, eliminate pollution, develop recreational values, cooperate with
industry and seek regulation where necessary to help achieve these aims, make a
continuing survey of the river and its valley, and to receive funds to do so. In
response to destructive quarrying at High Tor and Mount Taurus, the Hudson River
Conservation Society was organized on April 15, 1936. Upon the creation of the
Society, William Church Osborn served as President, with John Ross Delafield as
Vice-President, Louis V. Ledoux as Treasurer and Margaret Gillmore as Secretary.
Under their leadership, the Society sponsored two pieces of legislation; one created
the Hudson Valley Commission to make a survey of the river and recommend a plan for
its development and protection and the other permitted the State Conservation
Commissioner to accept gifts of historic or scenic sites of interest.
The Hudson River Conservation Society played an active role in the preservation of
historic and scenic sites in the Hudson Valley. Several purchases of land were made
including the 1936 purchase of the north slope of Breakneck Mountain, which was
eventually given to the Taconic State Park Commission, the Storm King section on the
north face of Anthony’s Nose, which was eventually given to the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society, and the 1943 purchase of High Tor which was
eventually handed over to the Palisades Park Commission. The publication of Historic
Houses of the Hudson Valley was sponsored by the Society. Also, under the leadership
of the Society, zoning regulations were enforced in Clarkstown in order to prevent
quarrying by New York Trap Rock. The Hudson River Conservation Society also
discouraged the building of the Storm King By-Pass, the Hudson River Tourway and the
New York-New Jersey Turnpike-Thruway Link and supported the Palisades Interstate
Parkway and the development of the Taconic State Parkway. The Society has been
involved in developing marinas, watershed projects, sewage systems, conservation
courses at colleges, backing legislation that protects the river and surrounding
areas, and increasing awareness of these issues.
