Wildlands Conservancy, Inc.

Wildlands Conservancy's Rivers Program is dedicated to protecting, preserving and enhancing the water resources of our streams and rivers and is focused on the Lehigh River watershed.

The more than half a million individuals who have participated in Wildlands Conservancy’s Environmental Education Department programs are an important legacy of the founders of Wildlands Conservancy. Those former students, who once romped through the meadows to learn about habitats and waded into the creek to understand the importance of healthy streams, are now using the knowledge they gained to preserve open space and protect drinking water sources. Today, most leaders in education, government and business believe that an environmentally literate citizenry is vital to the health of our nation and the world. Wildlands Conservancy agrees. We have been working towards that goal for over 35 years.

Wildlands Conservancy's Trails and Greenway program is to plan for future recreational needs of an expanding population -- all in balance with the need to conserve natural habitats.

What we do:

Support existing pathway projects, foster new pathway projects, and inspire communities by demonstrating the potential for creating a network of pathways in the Lehigh Valley.

Educate the public, government, and businesses about the economic, environmental, recreational, and health benefits of pathways.

Promote pathways, trails, and alternative options for the transportation.
