Through land conservation and park improvement projects, OSI continues to create new opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
Before year’s end, OSI is anticipating the addition of almost 13,000 acres to state and national parks and forests in Georgia, South Carolina, and New York.
This year, OSI refocused its efforts on Minnewaska State Park Preserve, whose size OSI has more than doubled over three decades — a story told in our Saving the Shawangunks Story Map, finalist for the international Esri StoryMapper of the Year award. In OSI’s latest victory at Minnewaska, the park’s much-anticipated Visitor Center opened its doors in the fall, with striking architecture and educational exhibits led by OSI and core supporters.
