Over a decade ago, the Natural Areas Conservancy was founded with the goal to conserve NYC's urban natural areas and make them a place all New Yorkers can enjoy. We've taken this original mission and expanded in ways we couldn't have fathomed.
We are proud of the milestones we’ve reached so far-from conducting breakthrough research and advocating for natural areas, to training passionate STEM students and expanding access to NYC’s trails.
This is our story, but it's also yours too. We will continue to strive for healthy, resilient natural areas for all-inspired by the everyday New Yorkers who give this city life.
