Saving the natural beauty of open land is possible. We’re doing it right now.
The Tinicum Conservancy was formed in 1992 by a group of conservation-minded residents who were concerned that larger, regional land trusts weren’t paying enough attention to land protection in our township. Within eight years, we had conserved a thousand acres. By 2004, another thousand acres were added, and yet another thousand by 2007. Today, 5,133 acres in and around Tinicum are protected… and counting!
Ready to take the next step?
Protecting the natural beauty of our community is a team effort. Whether you’re most comfortable volunteering your time in the office or in the field, donating money to help us grow, conserving your own property, or helping us spread the word about the importance of land conservation, we need you on our team.
