Mountains On The Net

A New York mountain range now has its own website -  not the range itself, but a coalition to protect the mountain environment:   Twenty-six Catskill Park advocacy, not-for-profit, and special interest groups large and small have joined forces to launch catskillparkcoalition.org, described as "a clearinghouse for all things Catskill Park-related."

The Mission statement on the website says - quote - "The Catskill Park Coalition is an alliance of like-minded groups committed to working together to broaden public appreciation for the Catskill Park and seek additional resources to enhance, maintain, and make available to the public the extraordinary opportunities the Park and its surroundings offer and can offer.

Coalition members range from the New York City-based Natural Resources Defense Council to Catkill Mountainkeeper to the Catskill Mountain Club
