As a member of Nature’s Champions, your annual gift will help conserve the forests, fresh water, and oceans across our state and contribute to a legacy of conservation with global significance. The Nature Conservancy in New York has always been an incubator of innovation, establishing replicable models and partnerships that impact conservation worldwide. New York Conservancy supporters have:

• Conserved nearly one million ecologically important acres across the state;
• Pioneered nature-based approaches, such as shellfish restoration, to conserve coastlines against storm surges and sea level rise;
• Safeguarded the water supply of 12 million people in a three-state region through science-based water flow management in the Delaware River Basin.

Become a member of Nature’s Champions, and you will have an in-depth opportunity to learn about this work, meet our conservation leaders and see the impact of your commitment. To learn more contact Leslie Back at lback@tnc.org or (212) 381-2198.
