Before transitioning to the new year, we would like to take a moment to truly thank all of our supporters. Without you, Heritage Conservancy would not be able to achieve its mission of preserving and protecting our natural and historic heritage. Each supporter directly helps the Conservancy in facilitating the protection of over 15,500 acres of open spaces, farmland, and wildlife habitats, and the preservation of significant historic structures that define our community.

Throughout 2021, we had 438 incredibly dedicated volunteers who spent 4,120+ hours improving our community. During volunteer events alone, over 4,700lbs of trash were collected and properly disposed of, protecting wildlife and plant species alike. With exciting volunteer opportunities planned for the new year, we plan to top these numbers!

One of the core values of the Conservancy is inspiring the next generation of stewards and environmentalists. Our “Learning Beyond the Classroom” activities are educational opportunities that can supplement a teacher or school’s in-class curriculum. Through in-person and virtual assemblies, we were able to engage with over 1,500 students at four different Bucks County schools. We look forward to all of the positive environmental impacts these students will make as the years continue.

It is always exciting to see the Conservancy’s community expand with others who share in our passion for protecting land and preserving our local history. We welcomed 104 new members through individual and gift memberships that were given by existing members or our organization itself. As 2022 continues, it will be wonderful to see all that our new members will bring to the table.
