Welcome to LandScope New York
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because New York is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

New York Conservation Summary
While the name New York is often equated with the concrete jungle of New York City, looking beyond the Big Apple reveals a remarkable diversity of natural communities and habitats throughout the state.
Conservation Priorities in New York

New York Wildlife Action Plan
New York's Wildlife Action Plan uses the state's major watersheds to organize its conservation strategy, both to instill a sense of place to users of the document and to build on the state's successful watershed programs, many of which have been running successfully for years. The plan offers an opportunity to integrate and strengthen those programs and to enhance the state's efforts to conserve species that improve the lives of New York residents and visitors.
