About the NHT

The NHT directly supports projects and programs that enhance state park facilities, expand access to outdoor
recreation and environmental education, preserve historic and cultural assets, and protect natural resources.

For over 50 years, the Natural Heritage Trust has worked to preserve New York’s public lands and enhance programs at state parks and historic sites. Our mission is to receive and administer gifts, grants and contributions to further public programs for parks, recreation, cultural, land and water conservation and historic preservation purposes of the State of New York.
