What 40 Years of Conserving Land Looks Like

January 15, 2020 By Erik Hetzel

For over 40 years, the Trust has been protecting land in the Willistown area. As we head into 2020, the Trust is continuing to grow that protected land. With highly qualified staff and technical support from our partners in the community, the Trust identifies strategic properties, works with landowners, prepares proposals, and negotiates agreements to protect those lands.

You can see the progress we have made by using our interactive story map below. Drag the slider to see how protected lands have grown in the last four decades.

Land protection begins with a willing land owner who agrees to permanently protect their land from development, while retaining ownership of the land. If you are interested in learning about the many benefits of protecting your land, please send me an email or give me a call at 610.353.2562, ext. 11. I would be happy to sit down with you to discuss.
