Wildlands Conservancy has grown considerably in size and scope since its founding in 1973, and its success in all program areas have been numerous.

Involving a wide variety of partners and using a medley of creative techniques, the Conservancy has been instrumental in the protection of more than 31,000 acres of land in eastern Pennsylvania.

Always fundamental to the Conservancy's work, education plays a significant role in linkages with our regional - and now - international - community. Experience being the best educator, the Conservancy has focused on getting people actively involved in our work. Training teachers to teach about the environment has been among our most effective tools.

Using science and education to address some of the region's most complex environmental problems, Wildlands Conservancy works with many government agencies, educational institutions, businesses and individuals in various resource-protection and resource enhancement programs aimed at improving our local rivers and streams.

Wildlands Conservancy helps people find a place to recreate ... to re-create their connection to nature. Using the Conservancy preserves, plus the many wonderful resources we have locally, like the Lehigh River corridor, Wildlands Conservancy has helped to form the means by which our citizens and our visitors can enjoy and benefit from trails, parks and other recreational areas.

Wildlands Conservancy, through uniquely productive partnerships, meets the environmental challenges facing society. Utilizing its professional skills, the Conservancy engages in a wide variety of planning, study and direct-action programs.
