Protecting

the environment
since 1982
Our Mission
Atlantic States Legal Foundation, Inc. is a New York chartered not-for-profit corporation founded in 1982 with its purpose being to provide technical, legal, and organizing services to a variety of citizens, citizen groups, local governments, and others on a wide variety of environmental issues.
What we do:
ASLF provides support services related to urban forestry, green infrastructure, water resource protection, and environmental outreach mostly to Upstate NY communities. These services range from grant writing and administration to assistance with advocacy, project design, mapping, tree planting, and maintenance. We specialize in agroforestry-integrated projects and increasingly incorporate an ecological restoration dimension into our work.
Featured Project:
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 2025 in Oswego, NY
In partnership with SUNY-Oswego and the St. Luke Family of Caring
Spotlight on our most recent green infrastructure initiative: OMG!
OMG! stands for One Million Gallons! Community Partnership Program, ASLF’s latest green infrastructure (GI) program. These GI installations in Syracuse will capture over one million gallons of stormwater annually, and are supported by community partnerships on privately-owned sites.
