Thank you to everyone who joined our three-part "Lunch & Learn” series!
We appreciated the insights, questions, and engaging discussion
about the most exciting developments for New York’s parks, trails, and public lands.
These Lunch & Learn conversations were our way of saying "thank you" for your vital support during 2020.
And keep an eye out! We're planning to come back in fall, 2021.
Even if you weren't able to attend, you can still hear from the state's environmental leaders.
