Long Island Environmental Professional Directory
The Long Island Environmental Directory is a direct outcome of the Master Naturalists training and certification program, encouraging volunteering, community service, and collaboration. The Directory is a compilation of Long Island organizations, associations, businesses, agencies, groups, and individuals.  It details educational resources, sustainable products and services, and related park news. Listings are searchable by name or category, and are professionally vetted. Help us grow by contributing to our Environmental Fund.

Though some environmentalists directly work on reducing CO2 emissions, not all of us do. Why not put value in all of our good works? This isn't a far fetched idea, it's just one of the many ideas Quality Parks spearheaded over the years, including: Pine Barrens Marittime Reserve Act, NY Adopt A Stewardship Program, reopening Brookhaven State Park, and rebuilding the Cranberry Bog Bridge for public and natural resource benefit. 

So how do we bring credibility and recognition to all of our efforts, no matter how unlikely linked to reducing CO2 emissions?  What we've been referring to as specialities are nature based climate solutions which  "have a vitally important role to play in addressing both the causes and consequences of climate change (IUCN)."  Since our Environmental Directory is already a professionally-vetted resource based on our more than 20 years of Quality Parks local knowledge and experience, we're requesting additional support to expand its certification.​​
The causes and activities we list in our Environmental Directory are nature based climate solutions considered by IUCN as "actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems, that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits."  Some of these causes and activities include: birding, health, trails & maintenance, Long Island natural landscaping,  tick bite prevention,  wildlife of Long Island, and Long Island nature centers.​
Please donate to our Environmental Fund, where money will be spent on promoting and supporting local environmentalists through our Long Island Environmental Directory, and working on ways to certify and quantify their nature-based solutions to climate change. ​
