Restore Local Ecosystems
Plant Native. Remove the Invasive. Conserve our Lands.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead
The Long Island Conservancy (LIC) was established in 2021 as a grassroots organization of volunteers united by a shared vision: to strengthen conservation efforts across Long Island. Since its inception, the Conservancy has grown into a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — yet its mission remains unchanged: to plant native, remove the invasive, and conserve our lands, and in doing so, restore the local ecosystems on Long Island.
Collaboration and Conservation
Building a Greener Long Island – Together
Conservation requires partnership — between individuals, communities, and organizations who share a commitment to protecting our environment. Through volunteer engagement, corporate and philanthropic support, the Long Island Conservancy advances land protection, restoration projects, native planting programs, and long-term sustainability initiatives.
Get involved!
