New Publication Details the Broad Benefits of Land Conservation in New York State

New York's natural resources are incredibly diverse, and provide New Yorkers with powerful quality-of-life and economic benefits.

Protecting these irreplaceable treasures happens through crucial partnerships between state and local governments, property owners and land trusts.

Land Stories is a new publication prepared by Scenic Hudson and other leading conservation organizations across New York State that profiles seven communities in which these partnerships have successfully leveraged public funding to safeguard drinking-water supplies, protect local sources of healthy food, enhance recreational opportunities and sustain essential tourism and forestry economies.

Land Stories can be downloaded via this link (PDF, 800k).
