Our Mission
The Bronx River Parkway Reservation Conservancy (BRPRC) is a member-based non-profit organization which was founded in 1997 and is dedicated to supporting the County of Westchester in its stewardship of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation.
The Conservancy is an advocate for the protection and preservation of the unique multi-faceted character of the Reservation, a park listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
It provides volunteers and funding for projects that enhance the Reservation's natural beauty, contributes to the quality of its environment, and educates the public about its historic nature.
The BRPRC links concerned citizens with the Westchester County government, which owns and maintains the road, pathway and extraordinary parkland that was created over 100 years ago. The river which travels through Westchester and the Bronx to Long Island Sound is currently the subject of major regional water-quality and environmental initiatives.
In recognition of the intact historic character of the Reservation, its 10 northernmost miles were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was designated a New York State Scenic Byway in 1995.
