Western New York Land Conservancy Inc

Western new york wildway- the land conservancys landscape-scale conservation project working to connect and protect the largest remaining forests and habitats in the western new york region. The wny wildway focuses on conserving and connecting core habitats and linkages to allow plants and animals to roam across the land as they once did to move as climate changes and to expand their ranges and ensure their survival.

The land conservancy worked extensively with the community and professional design consultants to create a concept plan for the riverline. The concept plan calls for the transformation of the former dl&w rail corridor into a 1.5 mile multi-use nature trail and greenway. The riverline will be an inspiring gathering place that connects people to water nature and one another and it will help build a healthy inclusive and opportunity-rich city . The concept plans; the equitable development framework completed in 2020 with input from hundreds of community members; and continued community engagement efforts will guide future decisions for taking the riverline from idea to reality. The land conservancy officially formed the riverline llc a sole member managed entity on 5 11 21. The operating agreement for the riverline llc was amended to change the riverline llc from sole member to manager managed in june 2022.
