- Ginger Adams Otis

THE CENTRAL PARK Conservanc­y pruned some of its staff.

Thirty workers got the chop on May 18 — that’s 8% of the approximat­ely 375 workers on the Conservanc­y payroll.

The ax fell across all levels, from senior and midlevel staffers to those running programs and interactin­g with the public, a source told the Daily News.

“We believe these changes will position the Conservanc­y to continue improving our effectiven­ess as stewards of the park while serving its over 42 million annual visitors,” Douglas Blonsky, president of the Conservanc­y, said in a statement.

The Conservanc­y had a $34 million operating loss in fiscal year 2016.
