Hello, nature enthusiasts! We are the Van Cortlandt Park Alliance Stewardship team, dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and celebration of the natural beauty and biodiversity of Van Cortlandt Park, one of New York City's largest and most precious green spaces.

Our mission is to engage the community in active stewardship of the park's diverse ecosystems. We work on a variety of projects, from habitat restoration and invasive species management to ecological monitoring and volunteer coordination. By fostering a deep connection between people and the park, we aim to inspire a culture of care and respect for our urban natural areas.

We partner with local schools, community groups, and fellow conservation organizations to enhance the ecological health of the park and provide educational opportunities for all ages. Through citizen science initiatives like the City Nature Challenge, we encourage everyone to become a nature observer, contributing to meaningful scientific research and gaining a greater appreciation for the world around us.

Join us on iNaturalist as we document the fascinating flora and fauna of Van Cortlandt Park. Whether you're a seasoned biologist or a curious newcomer, your observations are invaluable to understanding and protecting this vital urban oasis.

Let's explore, learn, and protect together. Follow our journey and become part of the Van Cortlandt Park Alliance Stewardship community on iNaturalist!
