Description of New York Parks and Conservation Association
New York Parks and Conservation Association is the only organization working statewide to protect New York's parks and help communities create new parks. Founded in 1985, NYPCA has grown from a small group of park advocates to over 2600 members from every region of the state. Our mission is to protect and advocate for existing parks and the state's natural and historic resources, and to promote the creation of new kinds of parks such as greenways, rail trails and heritage corridors. As one of the most developed states in the nation, New York's parks and open spaces are especially precious. They provide places for people to play, picnic, exercise and relax, and for plants and wildlife to survive. They preserve historic landscapes, keep us in touch with our state's natural history, and provide a respite from urban and suburban sprawl. New kinds of parks, such as greenways, rail and canal trails, and other linear parks, provide green corridors connecting cities, villages, countryside, and natural areas. Heritage corridors protect and promote regional and state history. All of these parks-both traditional and new-play a role in the quality of life for all New Yorkers.
