Program areas at EC

Earth Conservancy is committed to restoring waterways which have been negatively impacted from the effects of the coal mining industry. The most prevalent negative impact of these waterways has been the creation of acid mine drainage. This remediation is done primarily by restoring destroyed stream channels as well as treating existing streams to reduce the amount of amd which flows through these streams.
Earth conservancys primary work is reclamation of legacy mine lands. Ec believes that reclamation can bring about environmental restoration, as well as economic revitalization. In the last 24 years, ec has reclaimed nearly 2,000 acres of mine-scarred land. In total, over 10,000 acres of ec's original land holdings have been divested and are now in productive use.
Earth Conservancy receives multimodal transportation fund grants for creating construction access roads. The access roads were constructed in hanover township, Pennsylvania areas for the purpose of improving transportation needs in the community and revitalizing the economic status of the region.
Earth Conservancy also provides recreational facilities for the community as well as a garden where residents can grow their own produce. In addition, the cost of land sold for development, 179,990, is included in other program services expenses.
