Mission: The greenbelt, the second largest of new york city's flagship parks, consists of over 2,800 acres of public and private land (greater than the combined acerage of central park and prospect park) in the center of staten island, and includes natural areas and traditional parks. The greenbelt conservancy is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 that works in partnership with the new york city department of parks and recreation (parks and recreation) to support the operation, administration, and public use of the greenbelt's city parkland. The conservancy promotes conservation and enhancement through public awareness, support, and enjoyment of its resources. The conservancy is also responsible for the prudent management of its resources to benefit the greenbelt.
