The Open Space Institute protects scenic, natural and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment, conserve habitat and working lands, and sustain communities. Founded in 1974, OSI has grown from its original focus on the Hudson Valley to become a national conservation leader, having helped to protect 2.3 million acres across the eastern United States and Canada. The Open Space Institute has played a pivotal role in catalyzing New Jersey’s highest conservation priorities for over 16 years. Our work has spanned the Highlands, the Pinelands and the Bayshore, and accelerated the protection of farms, forests, and local parkland.

9/11 National Memorial Trail
The September 11th National Memorial Trail is a 1,300-mile system of trails and roadways that links the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The route serves as a symbol of resiliency and character and as a tribute to the fallen heroes who perished on September 11, 2001, and the many heroes who have committed themselves to the response for their country.
