Sustainable Hudson Valley's creative work has been with ideas, organizations, and community initiatives. We have helped to create and nurture complementary organizations including the Hudson Valley Branch of the U.S. Green Building Council's NY Upstate Chapter; the Independent Dutchess Energy Alliance; and the Hudson Valley Climate Change Network.
