Protect Open Space
Imagine a Staten Island where natural beauty thrives, untouched by urban sprawl. For 50 years, Protectors of Pine Oak Woods has made this vision a reality, preserving precious habitats starting with Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve. Our tireless efforts, led by dedicated volunteers over the years, have saved countless acres, ensuring that future generations can enjoy these natural treasures.
Now, we need your help. Protectors is launching a significant fundraising campaign to continue our vital work. Your support will enable us to protect Staten Island's natural resources for years to come. Join this extraordinary journey and be a part of a legacy that will benefit all New Yorkers. Together, we can ensure that the natural wonders of Staten Island remain forever protected.
