New York Open Space Plan

Founded in New York State in 1974, the Open Space Institute (OSI) is a national conservation organization, partnering in the protection of over 2.5 million acres across the Eastern US & Canada. They are committed to making protected land more welcoming to the public and promoting science-based conservation among fellow land trusts and government leaders. OSI also advocates for public policies that promote innovative and effective land protection, including securing full and permanent funding for the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. Come hear about what the OSI has done in New York state and what projects are in the works.
