Foreword
This is a directory of environmental organizations in New York,
New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Our aim is to help people and groups find others with similar
interests.
There are many kinds of environmental groups. We have not
attempted to segregate them by type but merely to arrange them by state
and give their purpose and a synopsis of their ongoing programs.
Many groups were not aware of our survey for this directory and
will not find their organization listed. To these people, our apologies
and the assurance that our next revision will be better. The organizations
surveyed provided us with a brief statement of their function, the name of
the individual who serves as the point of contact and the approximate
number of their members.
We have also included a listing of city and state environmental
agencies and the names of persons serving as points of contact for the
public.
Please send names of organizations to be included in the next
revision as well as your comments and suggestions, to:
