Legacy and Community

Staten Island is more than habitat — it’s part of Walnut Grove’s farming heritage. Families have worked these fields for generations, and The Nature Conservancy continues that legacy with a balance of agriculture and conservation.

 

As we end this tour we hope you can reflect on how Staten Island shows that farmland can sustain both people and wildlife.
