Conservation is more than saving places and species.

Today’s conservationist is protecting the environment at a whole new level –  from preserving specific places of biologic diversity to influencing government action to determining where to make financial investments that provide lasting results for a sustainable planet.

Learn through our Q&As how Conservancy staff approaches their work, and explore Faces of Conservation to see how our conservationists are making a difference in Pennsylvania and around the globe.

The Conservationist

Using Fire to Maintain Healthy Plants, Animals & Natural Resources George C. Gress
"Some unique habitats are shaped by fire, and the rare species within those areas need fire to regenerate growth and reduce the number of invasive species encroaching on the landscape."

"Our work in the Susquehanna is particularly important because of the influence it has on the Chesapeake Bay, which supports the 16 million people living within the watershed and is legendary for its marine life."
