Highlands Center for Climate, Conservation, & Connectivity
About us
The Highlands Center for Climate, Conservation, and Connectivity (Hi-C3) is a nonprofit organization advancing nature-based climate solutions in the New York-New Jersey Highlands. Our mission is to transform the region into a carbon sink through ecological restoration, sustainable land use, and regional collaboration.
Serving as a hub for climate strategies, research, and education, we integrate conservation, demonstration projects, and community engagement—particularly with underserved communities—to promote sustainable agriculture, forest management, and climate resilience for future generations.
