Policy and Advocacy in New York

Our Goals
Advancing and funding conservation and climate initiatives.
What We’re Doing
Advocating for the highest impact laws and policies that help save birds.

51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú is a respected and influential voice on public policy issues. Our balanced approach has advanced protections for millions of acres of wetlands across New York State, and ensured funding for environmental conservation remains a priority in the state budget. At 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú, we begin with science, and follow birds—advocating for the highest priorities that help stop their declines.

The 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Council of New York State represents the 26 locally affiliated chapters of the 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú. Together, they have identified the priority issues affecting local birds, and the actions that would help resolve them.
