We’re the largest and fastest-growing nonprofit solely focused on clean water. We preserve and protect water by connecting local Waterkeeper groups worldwide.
Our goal is drinkable, fishable, swimmable water everywhere (waterkeeper.org)
"Our obligation is to serve as a responsible land steward of the historic Refuge property and its natural resources, while promoting, implementing, and supporting environmental education.
The Quogue Wildlife Refuge is a 305-acre expanse of protected land, with over seven miles of trails in which you can explore a variety of habitats including Pine Barrens, bogs, wetlands, a field, and a tidal estuary. Our main trail is wheelchair and stroller friendly and all of the trails can be enjoyed in every season. The Refuge is a great place to cross-country ski and snowshoe! There is also an Outdoor Wildlife Complex which houses animals that have been injured and would not be able to survive in the wild' (https://quoguewildliferefuge.org/the-refuge/)
Our Mission: "To conserve LIISMA’s biodiversity, wildlife habitat, recreation resources, scenic quality, and crop production, while protecting human health and safety, by facilitating cooperation and coordination among land owners and managers to reduce the threat of human-introduced invasive species; and to reduce the costs of invasive species management by preventing and eradicating new invasive species infestations before they become established" (http://www.liisma.org/)
"We are a voluntary partnership of many organizations from the geographic area that includes Staten Island (Richmond County), Long Island (Kings [Brooklyn], Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties), and eleven additional coastal plain islands. We are one of eight PRISMs (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management) that cover all of New York State." (http://www.liisma.org/about/).
