Cy A Adler

Cy A Adler (b. Cyrus Adler, Brooklyn, New York, 1927 – September 27, 2018) was an author, organizer and conservationist, known for his work over the course of several decades in raising awareness for shoreline issues in and around New York City, United States.

He was especially known for his early work on the initiative that would result in the creation of The Great Saunter, an annual walk which goes through Hudson River Park, Riverside Park, East River Park, and some 20 other parks around the island of Manhattan. For his efforts to see to completion a park stretching almost the entire circumference of the Hudson River shore of the island of Manhattan, Adler was recognized by mayors of New York City including Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg, and borough presidents of Manhattan including Scott Stringer, Ruth Messinger, and Gale Brewer, as well New York City Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, and former US Senator Hillary Clinton.
