Program areas at Delaware Highlands Conservancy

Conserving water and land: as an accredited land trust, Delaware Highlands Conservancy conserves our natural heritage and quality of life in partnership with landowners and the communities of the upper Delaware river region. This was accomplished by placing and holding conservation easements to protect the forests, farmland, clean waters, and wildlife habitat of our region. The Conservancy holds and has assisted state and federal partners with conservation easements in new york and Pennsylvania on over 90 properties, totaling nearly 17,000 acres.
Education: Delaware Highlands Conservancy connects people to nature and provides educational opportunities about land, water, and wildlife to foster sound stewardship practices that support the resiliency of our natural resources and promote a sustainable local economy. Through the Conservancy's green lodging and drinks for the Delaware business partnerships, residents and visitors are introduced to the importance of conserving land and protecting clean water for drinking, recreation, and habitat protection at regional hospitality and beverage establishments. Nature-based events for all ages and abilities offered by the Conservancy at its van scott nature reserve and partner locations provide in-depth learning experiences to connect people to the necessity of conserving our natural resources and empower them to take action. These programs include, but are not limited to, women and their woods, eagle watch, habitat and wildlife workshops, guided hikes, and forest management programs. The van scott nature reserve also features a publicly accessible three-mile trail system through a variety of meadow, forest, and wetland habitats with informative, interpretive stops along the way.
