Watershed Agricultural Council Of The New York City Watersheds Inc

Conservation easement program (cep) - works to conserve farm and forest land by purchasing the development rights to these lands. Permanent protection of this "underdeveloped" land through conservation easements is ultimately the most lasting water quality protection.

Watershed forestry program (wfp) - works with forest landowners, forestors, and loggers on a voluntary basis to develop and implement forest management plans. The plans give landowners an opporunity to learn about the important resource they own and its many values such as lumber, firewood, aesthetics, habitat, open space recreation, etc

Economic viability and outreach: works to raise awareness among the general public, develop connections between watershed producers/products & new york city consumers as well as support farm & forestry landowners in the new york city region through a number of programs including educational workshops, seminars, grassroot festivals/events, farm/forest tours and economic sustainability initiatives.
