About us:
The Delaware Highlands Conservancy is a non-profit 501(c)3 land trust governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Our primary mission is to conserve the forests, farms and waters of the Upper Delaware River region by acquiring conservation easements, or land, from willing landowners.

We also maintain a small nature center the butterfly barn - so children and adults can learn about the plants and wildlife native to this region, and how to care for their terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

The Conservancy is funded by contributions from hundreds of members and local business leaders who want to keep the Upper Delaware River region healthy, prosperous and alive.

Founded in 1994, the Delaware Highlands Conservancy now protects thousands of acres across the region. Our easements include farm lands, wetlands, working forest land, or other natural properties.
