For two days in mid-February of 2005, sixty staff and trustee members from across the state met to discuss conservation strategies that The Nature Conservancy should pursue to advance the conservation of New York’s biodiversity over the next several years.  Prior to the meeting, a small team updated the Conservancy’s New York map of the 30 Priority Landscape Conservation Areas (see map), and collected a variety of information about the plants, animals, and ecosystems the Conservancy is striving to protect, the threats to these resources, and the strategies needed to protect them. 

As a key recommendation, the Conservancy will continue to focus the majority of its conservation efforts towards protecting the 30 Priority Landscapes, utilizing a broad range of strategies that include land acquisition, conservation easements, ecological stewardship, partnership building, public policies, freshwater conservation, invasive species control, fire management, and scientific research and monitoring.
