Incorporated in 1994, the Forum is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Its purpose is to:

  • improve communication among people interested in wetlands,
  • call attention to and objectively discuss local, statewide, regional, national and global wetland issues as they relate to New York State,
  • improve its members' knowledge and understanding of wetlands, and
  • make available information about wetlands to its members and the general public.
