new york Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership
The New York Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership (NY-CWRP) is a voluntary public-private partnership to restore degraded freshwater and coastal wetlands in NYS. Under the direction of the NY-CWRP Board, private contributions of funds and technical services are targeted for the restoration of wetland sites and aquatic habitats that have been degraded by fill, restricted water supply, non-point source pollution and dams. Donated funds and services can often attract matching federal and/or state funds at a favorable ratio, for example, 3:1. NY-CWRP Partners include: private sector firms; non-governmental organizations; the Federal office of the Coastal America Partnership (representing 13 federal departments and agencies); several ex-officio agency members; and, academia.
As of June 2006, there are currently eighteen NY-CWRP partners. The NY-CWRP
has selected two pilot projects for 2006. The NY-CWRP is a program of
the Coastal America Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit. The NY-CWRP is
independent of state government.
