Riverdale Nature Preservancy We work to protect and preserve the natural features and historic resources of the NW Bronx

Veterans of preservation efforts from the 1950s, 60s and 70s came together in 1986 under the banner of the Riverdale Nature Preservancy, with a mission to conserve, restore, and preserve the natural features, historic resources, and character of their neighborhoods. Today, the Preservancy monitors development projects in and around the Riverdale Special Natural Area District and contributes to long-range planning efforts in our neighborhoods. We work with city officials and staff, neighborhood organizations, elected officials, and residents to ensure that zoning regulations and project plans respond to the needs of our residents and to the preservation of our Greenbelt.
