Small places.
Long horizons.

Conservation begins with seeing value in the pieces of landscape that can easily be overlooked.

A living inventory.

The public record gives us a starting point: land resources conservation, open space, and conservation easements connected to Park Hill.

Landscape

Wooded slopes

Tree cover, rock and changing terrain are part of the natural character that makes Yonkers neighborhoods distinct.

Water

River country

Views and ecological connections to the Hudson Valley landscape give protected open space meaning beyond property lines.

Protection

Conservation easements

A legal protection can restrict development while ownership remains with the landowner.

Neighborhood
