Esopus Creek Conservancy
"Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature."
― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder

Esopus Bend Nature Preserve is a unique 161-acre preserve located partially within both the Village and Town of Saugerties along a dramatic bend in the Esopus Creek less than a mile from the Hudson River. The preserve borders Barclay Heights, and is visible to 10,000 travelers a day who cross the Esopus Creek traveling on Rt. 9W into out of the Village of Saugerties.
