Lancaster County Conservancy

The Lancaster County Conservancy is dedicated to saving and stewarding the ecosystems and landscapes upon which we depend for food, clean water and air, economic and public health, and the restoration of soul and spirit. Established in 1969, the Lancaster County Conservancy is a private, membership-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to saving Lancaster County's rapidly diminishing supply of natural land, and all that it supports - native wildlife and plants and the human connection to nature through recreation and education. As of 2008, the Conservancy has saved over 3,500 acres and owns and manages 24 nature preserves, open to the public free of charge 365 days a year. Volunteers help us to steward the land we own though scheduled clean-ups, restoration and trail blazing projects.
