Uh, as much of a mouthful as it is, "New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation" is this agency's official name (it's even in the logo on the page). "New York State Parks" should redirect to that, not the other way around. Daniel Case 20:35, 25 December 2005 (UTC) reply

New York State Parks now redirects to List of New York state parks. DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 09:03, 9 October 2016 (UTC) reply

No mention of the Natural Heritage Trust here. Related information may be found at this link. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 21:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Hm, this is a little complicated; the Natural Heritage Trust seems to be independent of NYSOPRHP, and partner with NYSDEC and NYSDOS as well; so while they could be covered here, it may be most appropriate to stub out a separate article for them. I'll see what I can dig up.

(To be honest when I read the name at first I thought this was about the New York Natural Heritage Program, which I'm a little more familiar with, and I think they deserve an article too...) Antepenultimate ( talk) 04:05, 28 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi Antepenultimate, Thanks for your note. As a New York state public-benefit corporation, the NYS Natural Heritage Trust could be included in that article, too. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 11:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks, Antepenultimate, for adding Natural Heritage Trust to the NYS public-benefit corporations article. I've created a redirect to take readers to that section, plus a hatnote at Natural Heritage Trust. If/ as noteworthy, a standalone article could be developed in place of the redirect. Good for now?

I'd say that should cover it for now, thanks for tying up the loose ends. I wasn't able to immediately dig up any substantive secondary sources (there's a sea of minor mentions to dig through), so redirecting to their small section at New York state public-benefit corporations works for me. I was hoping to find some information to add it to this article under a historical context, but oddly the book they published ( Fifty Years: New York State Parks, 1924-1974) makes no mention of them.
