On
Saturday, February 24, 2001, the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation
hosted a meeting of members of New York's community-based environmental
organizations, concerned individuals, and key New York State legislators.

of the concerns of each group and a stronger foundation for future working
relationships. The New York State Environmental Summit: Working with State
Legislators was funded in part by New York State. Read about the summit
