WNY Wildway Partner Network
We cannot create the WNY Wildway on our own. The WNY Wildway Partner Network is a coalition of stakeholders committed to building and supporting the Wildway. Our partners include local, county, and state agencies, transit authorities, municipalities, private landowners, land trusts, conservation organizations, and community groups. Through collaboration, we aim to achieve a landscape-scale conservation effort that benefits both wildlife and people.
The primary purpose of the WNY Wildway Partner Network is to engage the region in building the WNY Wildway, fostering collaboration among partners, promoting awareness and implementation of the WNY Wildway, and supporting regional land protection and wildlife connectivity projects and initiatives.
