The Bronx River Parkway Reservation Conservancy (BRPRC) is a member-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the County of Westchester in its stewardship of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation, the nation's first public parkway designed for automobile use. The Conservancy advocates for the protection and preservation of the Reservation's unique character, enhances its natural beauty, contributes to its environmental quality, and educates the public about its historic nature.
The BRPRC collaborates with the Westchester County government, which owns and maintains the parkland, road, and pathway. The Reservation, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers 10 miles of intact historic beauty and was designated a New York State Scenic Byway. The organization also actively engages in managing invasive plant species, such as the highly invasive Incised Fumewort, through study, education, and removal efforts in collaboration with the Westchester County Parks Department and scientists from Iona College.
