| Desc | Connecting communities with the landscapes that shape them - Every piece of land conserved is not only an opportunity to protect our region's air, water, vistas, and wildlife, but also an opportunity for meaningful connection. That's why we are focused on creating beautiful parks and outdoor spaces where people can commune with nature and one another. We have more than 45 featured parks and have contributed to more than two dozen additional preserves, historic sites, and trails. In Kingston, Newburgh, and Poughkeepsie, we are keeping a special focus on urban conservation and farming to close the nature and fresh food gaps in the cities along the Hudson. | Desc |

We're also focused on sustaining the farmland that has defined and nourished this region for centuries. We have partnered with farmers to protect 23,000 acres on more than 150 farms over the last three decades.

| Desc | Innovating to create inspiring spaces and lasting solutions for generations to come - While much of our work is focused on preserving the natural treasures of the Hudson Valley, what sets us apart is our ability to see untapped potential and to back ideas with action. We've cleaned up more than a dozen industrial sites on both sides of the Hudson, from Yonkers to Albany including our new offices and community space at the Northside Hub in Poughkeepsie. Community powers our solutions, from community-led observation to bridge the data gap in urban ecosystems, to our 40-year campaign urging the Environmental Protection Agency to require General Electric to fully clean up PCBs in the Hudson River. | Desc |

| Part V, Line 4: | USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: As articulated in detail in Part VII of Schedule R, Scenic Hudson, Inc. (SH) and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. (SHLT) are related, tax-exempt organizations. Neither organization holds a "permanent endowment," that is, a fund intended by the donor to preserve its original principal amount and thus where spending is restricted to income and other investment earnings. SH and SHLT do hold five "quasi-endowment" funds, which had a combined market value of $248,532,128 as of June 30, 2025, as follows: The Scenic Hudson Board Designated Fund is held by SH for the purpose of supporting the annual operating budget. Spending from the Board Designated Fund is determined annually by the board based on a percentage of the average balance over a rolling twelve-quarter period. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the Board Designated Fund was $37,539,071. The Kathryn W. Davis Fund for Park Planning and Community Land Use (the "Kathyrn W. Davis Fund") is a donor-restricted fund held by SH. This fund is used to support SH's staff, consultants and other costs for park design, park management and land use planning. Spending from the Kathryn W. Davis Fund is by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the Kathryn W. Davis Fund was $5,527,164. The combined value of the Board Designated Fund and Kathryn W. Davis Fund ($43,066,235) is reported in Schedule D, Part V of the Scenic Hudson 990. Because of the small size of the Board Designated Fund relative to SH's operations, and the restricted purpose of the Kathryn W. Davis Fund, Scenic Hudson is highly dependent on donor contributions to meet its annual operating needs. The Lila Acheson and Dewitt Wallace Hudson Valley Land Preservation Endowment (the "Wallace Fund") is a donor-restricted fund held by SHLT. It is principally used to support capital and other costs of purchasing land and conservation easements to meet SHLT's land preservation goals. Spending from the Wallace Fund is by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. Special appropriations are permitted under exceptional circumstances by Board approval, subject to donor restrictions. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the Wallace Fund was $204,376,734. The capital costs of preserving the highest priority conservation lands in the Hudson Valley far exceed appropriations available from the Wallace Fund. Accordingly, Scenic Hudson's land preservation program - which is run primarily through The Scenic Hudson Land Trust - is highly dependent on capital contributions from individuals, foundations and government entities. The Conservation Easement Enforcement Fund (the "Easement Enforcement Fund") is a board-designated fund held by SHLT. Appropriations are made at the discretion of the Board, generally by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. Spending is used primarily to cover legal and other costs incurred to support the perpetual obligation to monitor and enforce conservation easements and to defend lands held in fee for conservation. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the Easement Enforcement Fund was $1,089,159. The combined value of the Wallace Fund and Easement Enforcement Fund ($205,465,893) excluded from this 990 and reported in Schedule D, Part V of The Scenic Hudson Land Trust 990. Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, Inc. (HHFT) established and holds a board-designated "quasi-endowment" fund, exclusively dedicated to supporting future operating and maintenance costs of the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail (the "Operating and Maintenance Fund"). Board established the Fund in fiscal year 2021 with a grant (the "Gift") of $50,000 from The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. (SHLT), a related, tax-exempt organization. The Gift is subject to a Gift Agreement (the "Agreement") whereby the HHFT Board of Directors may determine how, when and in what amounts balances in the Fund are applied to pay such operating expenses. There were no such expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The Operating and Maintenance Fund had a value of $3,739,365 as of June 30, 2025. HHFT has received donor-restricted gifts to the fund from multiple donors. The original value of certain donations to such fund by the supported organization may revert to the supported organization, but only in circumstances where HHFT no longer is responsible for operating and maintaining the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail. HHFT intends to grow such fund as its operating and maintenance obligations grow with the completion of each phase of the Fjord Trail project. Such fund is not intended to be sole or primary source of funding to pay operating and maintenance costs of the Fjord Trail, which are expected to be met in significant part in the usual manner, i.e., by application of annual contributions or earned revenues. |
| Part X, Line 2: | DISCLOSURE OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS: The Organization believes it had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which provides standards for establishing and classifying any tax provisions for uncertain tax positions. |
| Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: | Consolidation Eliminations -8,395,886. Related Entity Revenue 85,335,218. |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: | FURTHER CONTEXT FOR ORGANIZATION'S MISSION (CONTINUED): Scenic Hudson was founded in 1963 when six community members came together to stop a massive power plant from defacing the iconic Storm King Mountain. The legal victory, known as the "Scenic Hudson Decision," is considered the birth of America's modern grassroots environmental movement. Over the last six decades, Scenic Hudson has continuously innovated to advance our mission. This includes conserving ecologically important lands and the family farms that feed our region, and creating parks, trails, and preserves adapted to changing weather patterns so they can continue to connect communities with nature. In total, we have protected 53,000+ acres of land, including 150+ farms, and created 45+ parks across the Hudson Valley. All along, we have been a champion of clean air and water, while working to ensure that all people have a voice in government decisions affecting the environment. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | 990 REVIEW AND OVERSIGHT PROCESS: The Audit Committee first reviews the 990 in draft form for Scenic Hudson, The Scenic Hudson Land Trust and Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail. Once the Audit Committee has satisfactorily completed its review, they recommend distribution of the drafts to the full Board of Directors for review and acceptance at its next meeting. Electronic copies of the draft 990s are distributed to the full board in preparation for the meeting. The board is encouraged to review the draft and provide comments or seek clarification, where necessary, before their acceptance. The return is filed upon acceptance by the board. Public inspection copies of the 990 are available on the Organization's website. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | MONITORING OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY: All board members and staff are required to review and sign the organization's conflict of interest policy annually. Board members who may have any real or perceived conflict of interest must abstain from discussion and voting around such issues. The Board of Directors reviews conflicts of interest that may arise (real or perceived) involving the staff. The Executive Committee (or the Board Membership and Governance Committee in some cases) reviews conflicts of interest (real or perceived) involving the executive team and board, however they may seek input from the full Board of Directors and/or legal counsel. Finally, all reported conflicts are summarized and reviewed by the independent auditor during the annual audit. A list is provided to the Audit Committee that specifies which, if any, board members reported a conflict. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION: Executive compensation is determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, who engages a third-party consultant who provides a market analysis with recommendations, in consultation with the Board of Directors. The Executive Compensation Committee also incorporates first hand research data on comparable organizations in Scenic Hudson's staff and/or budget size in their recommendations. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | PUBLIC AVAILABLILITY OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS: The following corporate governance documents are available to the public on Scenic Hudson's website (:https://www.scenichudson.org/about-us/financial-and-governance/): * Form 1023 * Form 990 * Audited financial statements * Certificate of Incorporation * Corporate by-laws * Whistleblower policy * Conflict of interest policy |
| FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 2A: | DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE: As detailed in Schedule R, Part VII, Scenic Hudson provides The Scenic Hudson Land Trust and Hudson Highland Fjord Trail Inc., related organizations with the services of its employees, office space and general administrative support through a service agreement. Program service revenue, which totaled $3,305,941 during fiscal year 2025 represents the fees collected under these agreements. |
| FORM 990, PART IX: | STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES (PROGRAM EXPENSE RATIO): Activities that occur in The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. and Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, Inc., each a supporting organization of Scenic Hudson, directly impact the expenses of Scenic Hudson. Such activities include the purchase of conservation easements and land in fee title and construction of a linear park. With this in mind, the only meaningful calculation of the Program Expense Ratio is to consider the expenses of all entities on a consolidated basis as reported in the consolidated financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Program Expense Ratio for Scenic Hudson and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust was 80% and 87%, respectively, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. |

| PART II AND PART V, LINE 10: | EXPLANATION OF RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION: Scenic Hudson, Inc. (SH) and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. (SHLT) are related, tax-exempt organizations. SHLT is supported and controlled by SH, and SH is the sole member of SHLT. Each organization has its own governing board, however, the board of SHLT is appointed by that of SH. General operations, including expenses related to staff and benefits, are carried on by SH while SHLT was founded exclusively for the benefit of and to serve the purposes of Scenic Hudson, to the extent that those purposes relate to acquiring and holding land in the Hudson River Valley, in order to preserve and protect such land for the benefit of the public, including transferring lands to federal, state and local governments and other not-for-profit organizations. Accordingly, the Land Trust acquires conservation easements and normally holds title to program related investments in land and parks owned by the Organization. As SHLT does not have any employees, SH provides SHLT with the services of its employees, office space and general administrative support through a services agreement. Under this agreement, SHLT provides payment to SH of an amount approved annually via Board resolution for such services on a quarterly basis, which in fiscal year 2025 totaled $3,212,300.
