Mohonk Preserve invites Hudson Valley neighbors from Ulster, Orange, Dutchess, Columbia and Greene counties to sign up for a free six-week membership pass during the new Healthy Hudson Valley Pass Program. Previously known as the Healthy Ulster Pass Program, for 15 years the Preserve has distributed over 60,000 free passes to Ulster County residents during the organization’s annual Healthy Ulster events. “Mohonk Preserve is excited to expand this free pass program to more Hudson Valley residents to explore and enjoy the natural world,” the Preserve wrote in a press release.
New this year includes an online registration option available from Monday, March 16 to Sunday, March 22 where visitors can get immediate access to the Preserve with a digital membership pass.
In-person registration and physical passes are also available at the Preserve’s Visitor Center, located at 3197 State Route 44/55 in Gardiner, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20 to Sunday, March 22.
The passes will be valid through April 30, 2026. Children 15 and under are always free with an accompanying adult passholder and do not require a separate pass. One adult must register online or can pick up passes in person for a maximum of four passes per household. Proof of residency is required. Available to current non-members only, while supplies last.
