Welcome to the New York Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership. The Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership (CWRP) is an innovative private-public initiative aimed at preserving, restoring, enhancing and protecting aquatic habitats throughout the United States. Bringing together corporations, federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations and academia, CWRP allows members to contribute in a fundamental way to crucial projects involving America’s coastal and inland aquatic resources.

Since its inception in 1999, the National CWRP, through the initiative of such companies as the Gillette Company and Maritimes & Northeast, has grown to include active programs in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Alaska, California, New Jersey, Texas and New York.

The NY Chapter of the CWRP is a joint effort between New York corporations, government agencies, non-profit environmental groups and academia who help fund priority wetlands and aquatic habitat restoration projects throughout New York state. Be sure to check the "News & Events" page for updates!
