Purchase Environmental Protective Association

About us

By monitoring development proposals and informing the public on local environmental issues facing Purchase and the local area, PEPA's involvement and documentation of the historical, cultural, and natural features of its unique landscape serve as a vital resource to the community.

PEPA informs the public about relevant local issues, legislation, and policies by disseminating information through its website, newsletter, and other informative publications and mailings. The organization conducts appropriate research and hires professional experts as necessary to provide relevant information to the community and local governing bodies. Through this timely factual information, community decisions about the environment are made based on knowledge. PEPA also participates in local Task Forces and regularly attends Town Meetings and public hearings. By having a presence at such forums, the organization can effectively represent its mission and steer decision-making accordingly.
