Event Schedule

Come learn about how Parks & Trails New York is fighting for an awe-inspiring network of welcoming public lands, and where you can plug in. They will be presenting their “5 for 2025” slate of priorities, and having a great discussion on why this is important.

Destinations International is launching this initiative to gain recognition for the important contributions of the sector and those who work in it by promoting the annual celebration of February 19 as “Destination Professionals Day.” The first observance will be February 19, 2025.

Join "the green scarf brigade" led by Parks & Trails New York and the Open Space Institute on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 in Albany for the 19th annual Park Advocacy Day. Park Advocacy Day is an opportunity to meet with state legislators to connect on the value our public lands bring to their constituencies, economy and community. Join us in February to give our public lands a voice and to connect with other advocates, partners, and public lands champions from across the state.
