In 1997 the Preservation League of New York State began the Preservation Colleagues program as a means of strengthening the work of preservationists across New York State.   Joining the Preservation League in support of this program is the Architecture, Planning and Design Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. Preservation Colleagues are the front-line advocates and the behind-the-scenes heroes working on behalf of endangered landmarks, historic neighborhoods, rural landscapes and commercial centers in their respective service areas.   The Preservation Colleagues program fosters stronger bonds among the organizations to advance the goals of individual groups and to promote a statewide preservation agenda collectively.         Adirondack Architectural Heritage Keeseville, New York www.aarch.org Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy Buffalo, New York www.buffaloolmstedparks.org Campaign For Buffalo Buffalo, New York Campaign4Buffalo@aol.com Essex Community Heritage Organization Essex, New York www.essexny.org Friends of Historic Herkimer County* Herkimer, New York friendsofhistoricherkimercounty> FRIENDS of the Upper East Side Historic Districts New York, New York www.friends-ues.org Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation New York, New York www.gvshp.org Heritage Foundation of Oswego, Inc.
