Whether protecting large landscapes or smaller, critically important parcels, TPL helps New York communities balance growth with land conservation. TPL protects forests, preserves drinking water and local food sources, safeguards critical wildlife habitats, expands New York's prized state park system, and connects people to the land by improving public access to parks and public open space.
TPL acts quickly to help communities acquire lands of high priority for conservation, securing them until they can be purchased by the public.
TPL structures, negotiates, and completes land transactions that lead to new parks, trails, playgrounds, gardens, and protected natural areas and waterways.
