WNY Wildway Partner Network
We are pleased to partner with the Western New York Land Conservancy on the Western New York Wildway, an ambitious, long-term plan to protect and connect the largest of our region’s remaining tracts of wildlife habitat.
The Project
The WNY Wildway will connect the vast forests of the Allegheny Mountains to the Great Lakes, and beyond. It will form part of the Eastern Wildway which runs all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
The WNY Wildway will 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. It will allow wildlife that have disappeared from our region to return home.
As a lead partner of the WNY Wildway Partner Network, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper will continue its mission of protecting and restoring waterways and surrounding ecosystems within the WNY Wildway project area. Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper serves as the co-chair of the Northern Region of the WNY Wildway Partner Network, a coalition of groups–including municipalities, Indigenous Nations, state and federal agencies, and community members–committed to building and supporting the WNY Wildway.
