How We Work

What’s the connection between Pennsylvania’s forests and the water we drink? Forests help keep our drinking water clean long before it arrives at the water treatment plant. Read more or watch a video about how forests act as nature’s water purifiers.

Freshwater

Removing dams is a proven way to rejuvenate fisheries and revive the natural services our rivers provide. But not all dams are created equal.

In fact, some dams come with their own sets of benefits for people. Travel to the Susquehanna and two other rivers to explore the Conservancy’s creative solutions for restoring the health of rivers below dams.

Working Woodlands

Pennsylvania announced in December Working Woodlands a forest conservation program to protect critical forests while improving private forest management, providing revenue for forest landowners and fighting climate change. 

Hunting Information

The Nature Conservancy has protected tens of thousands of acres in Pennsylvania through the help of its members, conservation partners, and hunting and fishing organizations.

Hunting and fishing are permitted on several Nature Conservancy owned preserves.
