Independence Conservancy is one of Pennsylvania’s 95 land trusts working to preserve open space and natural places for future generations. We belong to the Land Trust Alliance, a national network of 1700 nonprofit organizations who have preserved almost 12 million acres in the U.S. as of 2005.
A land trust is a nonprofit organization that, as all or part of its mission, actively works to conserve land by undertaking or assisting in land or conservation easement acquisition, or by its stewardship of such land or easements.
“Without a doubt, building a prosperous and vibrant economy
within this commonwealth must include equal attention
to the preservation and maintenance of Pennsylvania’s
natural resources. The Commonwealth’s wild and scenic rivers,
mountains, forests and parks are our greatest resource.”
