What We Do

Protecting Public lands. Empowering Communities.

We do more than just love the outdoors. We work every day to make it better, stronger, and more accessible for everyone. By leading advocacy efforts, hosting volunteer events, creating free resources and more, we’re here to make sure New York’s parks and trails are places we can all enjoy for generations to come.
