This year marks an extraordinary chapter for Protectors of Pine Oak Woods—a time to celebrate past achievements and envision an even brighter future. Our focus is on strengthening partnerships, expanding educational initiatives, and advocating effectively at all levels of government. With your generous support, we can turn this vision into reality. Together, let's shape the future of our cherished natural areas.

This year, our two semi-annual meetings will highlight the invaluable role that Protectors plays in supporting nature enthusiasts everywhere. We provide timely news and updates on issues impacting wildlife and natural habitats on Staten Island, inspiring curiosity and encouraging deeper engagement with the natural world around us.

​Join us as we explore the treasures of the Greenbelt and discover the protected natural areas that we've worked together to preserve. Learn about the spaces still at risk from development and mismanagement, and find out how you can help advocate for the protection of all natural areas on Staten Island

Turning 50 doesn't mean slowing down—it means celebrating bigger and better! We're excited to announce a year full of events, leading up to an unforgettable fall gathering. Join us as we honor everything Protectors stands for and the incredible impact we've made on the people of Staten Island. Get ready for fun, memories, and a celebration like no other!
