The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

The Nature Conservancy has a unique chapter structure in New York, which reflects its long history here and the fact that several of our first preserves were created in the State. The chapters are based in the Adirondacks, Long Island, Eastern New York, which roughly covers the area between Westchester and Saratoga counties, and Central and Western New York, a region extending from the shores of Lake Ontario to the Niagara Frontier. Central offices are located in Albany and New York City.

You can help us continue our tradition of long-term success in our New York chapters. Renew your commitment to support our global conservation work!
