Environmental
Initiatives
Westchester County is committed to preserving
the natural environment through a host of initiatives designed to
protect its thousands of acres of unspoiled land and the hundreds of
species of plants and wildlife that thrive there. The Parks Department
works closely with several environmental and historical agencies and
organizations and a host of dedicated individual volunteers in these
initiatives. The results of these environmental protective efforts are
evident with the recent establishment of numerous Biodiversity
Protection Areas, the recognition of several parks as Important Bird
Areas, the creation of the Westchester
Endangered
Species List and other environmental programs.
