New York

Introduction

From the ancient Adirondacks to the Hudson and Delaware river valleys, New York’s landscapes define the state. Forests, mountains, wild rivers and vast agricultural areas give life to a flourishing natural resource economy – all within hours of dense populations in the east. For over 35 years, we’ve worked to ensure these landscapes are sustained by collaborating with local partners to conserve land and water across the Empire State.
