Community Partnerships
We partner with other regional nonprofits to share resources and information to help better reach and serve our broader community.
About Our Community Partnerships
From inviting community groups to share information and resources (tabling) at our events to sharing materials and expertise, we work with others to educate people of all ages about nature and inspire them to protect the environment. We believe in equitable access and work in the community to build connections to nature.
Bristol Cares Coalition / No Longer Bound
Heritage Conservancy supports a variety of local youth programs in addition to our school-based interactive learning opportunities. We partner with community-based nonprofit No Longer Bound in Levittown to engage young people in nature. We provide hands-on outdoor activities, natural science, and environmental education as part of No Longer Bound’s summer camp and other programs.
Nature Backpacks at Grundy and Levittown Libraries
To help community members get outside and explore local wilderness, Heritage Conservancy created nature backpacks for libraries in Lower Bucks. They include binoculars, magnifying glasses, nature field guides, and local info. Designed for adults, families, and young explorers, these loaner packs help foster passion and appreciation for the natural world.
Motus Wildlife Tracking Towers
Keystone Elementary & Bucks County Community College
In collaboration with local host schools, Heritage Conservancy installed two wildlife tracking towers in Bucks County that feed live data on wildlife migration to inform global conservation efforts. The tower at Keystone Elementary in Bristol Township is incorporated into educational classroom activities. Another tower at Bucks County Community College has been incorporated into its education curriculum.
Croydon Woods Mural
Croydon Neighbors and Truman High School
Located at the Bristol baseball fields near Keystone Elementary School, this community project highlights the biodiversity of Croydon Woods. Neighborhood groups provided input to help design the mural. It invites students, neighbors, and visitors to explore Heritage Conservancy’s nearby preserve. Truman High School student artists painted insets depicting some of the species of plants and animals found in the nature preserve.
