Congress finds as follows:
(1) The Hudson River Valley possesses important and unique
cultural, historical, natural, recreational and scenic
resources that have been central to the development and
sustainment of our Nation.
(2) The Hudson River Valley encompasses a rich array of
sensitive natural resources ranging from the River itself and
its vast estuarine district, to its wetlands, refuges, parks,
forests, farmlands, preserves, cliffs, mountains, and valleys.
(3) The Hudson River and its tributaries are home to a
number of rare and threatened animal species, habitats, and
plants.
(4) The Hudson River Valley is home to myriad biking,
heritage, pedestrian and scenic trail systems on the eastern
and western sides of the River that are now connected by the
Walkway Over the Hudson bridge, which has been designated as a
National Recreation Trail.
(5) Throughout history, the Hudson River Valley has played
a central role in the development of our nation, starting from
the vibrant Native American communities that first inhabited
the land, to Henry Hudson's voyage up the river later named for
him in the vessel Half Moon in 1609 and later with the American
Revolution, the debate on our Constitution, the first
successful steamboat voyage by Robert Fulton in 1807, the
Industrial Revolution, and the modern labor and environmental
movements.
(6) The Hudson River Valley gave birth to important
movements in American art, architecture and literature through
the work of Andrew Jackson Downing, Alexander Jackson Davis,
Thomas Cole, Frederick Church and their associates from the
Hudson River School of Art, as well as through authors such as
Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, William Cullen
Bryant, Susan and Anna Warner, and John Burroughs.

Valley's renowned scenery and natural resources played a

River Valley ''the landscape that defined America.''.
