Friends Of Reinstein Woods

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, we like to say it takes friends to protect the forest. Friends of Reinstein Woods is a volunteer-led, nonprofit organization that supports the environmental education programs offered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at Reinstein Woods. We provide vital financial and volunteer support for programs aimed at school children, teachers, youth from underserved neighborhoods, and the general public.

The Mission of Friends of Reinstein Woods is to cultivate a lifelong appreciation of nature through education, stewardship, and shared experiences within and beyond the unique ecology of Reinstein Woods.

The Vision of Friends of Reinstein Woods is for Reinstein Woods to be an inclusive and equitable sanctuary where diverse communities share in nature's harmony, empowering individuals to be environmental stewards of our world.
