The Catskill Region

Beginning 100 miles northwest of New York City, the Catskill Mountains rise above the west bank of the Hudson River to form a series of high-peaks dissected by a network of pristine streams, wetlands, and waterfalls. The region is over 75% forested with a unique mosaic of almost 300,000 acres of state-owned "forever wild" Forest Preserve within the Catskill Park and the Catskill portion of the New York City Watershed  that draws clean water from 1,584 square-miles of private and public land.  

The six counties of Delaware, Greene, Schoharie, Sullivan, Ulster and Otsego encompass parts of the Catskill Region.

A Diverse Forest Resource

Catskill WoodNet members source their wood from well-managed Catskill forests dominated by a rich diversity of northern hardwood tree species including sugar maple, red maple, black cherry, white ash, yellow birch, and red oak. Softwoods such as white pine, Eastern hemlock, and Eastern red cedar also grow in abundance in several areas throughout the region and provide much of the materials used in the framing of farmhouses and barns that dot the Catskill's landscape.
