Dear , 

 

Our new membership cards are in stock.  And we would love to send you one!

 

As we begin our spring membership campaign, I hope I can count on you to join in our efforts to vigorously advocate and champion New York's parks and trails...as we have for nearly 30 years. 

 

When you join Parks & Trails New York, you become a member of an exceptional group of people who share your passion for New York's parks and trails and who want to do their part to enhance and protect these treasured places.

 

The stories in this eNews issue attest to the critical work we do to support the outdoor places that are important to you.  Won't you support us in these efforts and become a member today.

 

Thank you.  And Happy Spring!

 

Best,
Robin

A new federal bill, the Safe Streets Act, would support the 600 Complete Streets policies already in place across the nation. U.S. DOT Secretary Anthony Fox seems to like the idea.
