This vision was created by the people of the tri-state region during the Thrive 2055 strategic planning process. The inclusive project outlined key preservation focus areas including: Freshwater Conservation and Biodiversity; Habitat Anchors and Connections; Outdoor Recreation; Working Farms and Forestlands; Cultural/Historic Landmarks and Scenic Vistas. The Watershed Moment Vision is the foundation of Thrive’s environmental work, including the Natural Treasures Alliance and Conservation Priority Index.
