About Us
A community caring for its corner of the coast
The Douglas Manor Environmental Association has served the Douglaston and Little Neck communities of New York City for more than four decades.
Who we are
The Douglas Manor Environmental Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1983. We are dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the natural habitats in the Douglaston/Little Neck area of New York City.
The DMEA holds Conservation Easements on coastal property in Douglas Manor, a peninsula of land surrounded on three sides by Little Neck Bay, the westernmost end of the Long Island Sound. DMEA habitats, some of which are federally designated wetlands, border Udall's Cove Nature Preserve and Osprey Landing to the east and Alley Pond Park to the west.
