373 Acres Added to PA State Forest Lands
Press Release | January 28, 2021
The Nature Conservancy in Pennsylvania has announced the transfer of 373 acres of land in Canadensis to Pennsylvania’s Bureau of Forestry. That land, along with two previous transfers—of 376 and 319 acres—totals 1,068 acres that TNC and the Bureau have collaboratively protected since 2017 to expand State Forest lands in the Pocono Mountains.
“It’s a great day when more than 1,000 acres of wild, forested land are permanently protected,” said Ellen Lott, Conservation Lands Project Manager for TNC in Pennsylvania and Delaware. “We’re thrilled to transfer these properties to DCNR’s Bureau of Forestry, which manages Pennsylvania’s forests. These additions will provide new recreational opportunities while protecting wildlife habitat, sensitive wetlands and healthy waterways.”

Cove Mountain Preserve expansion to benefit nature, naturalists, communities
The Cove Mountain Preserve has plans for a major expansion—an extension that will offer new opportunities for recreation, hunting and other activities—and create a 14-mile stretch of protected land along the Kittatinny Ridge. The preserve is in Marysville, just north of the capital city.
The Pennsylvania and Delaware chapters of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) recently announced the purchase of former timberlands that will quadruple the size of the protected area and connect existing trails on Cove Mountain to PA state game lands, the Appalachian Trail and the borough of Marysville.

New Funding Announced to Support Advanced Nutrient Management in Chesapeake Watershed
Press Release | September 21, 2020
Mid-Atlantic 4R Association announces a grant award of nearly $1 million dollar over 3-years from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to increase advanced nutrient management practices on farms in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. The grant will support TNC and our agribusiness partners to identify opportunities for advanced practices on at least 30,000 acres by engaging over 300 individual farmers. Mid-Atlantic 4R is a partnership of agribusinesses, researchers, government agencies, and conservation groups (including TNC) that work with local farmers to ensure that they are managing their nutrients to help ensure cleaner local rivers and a healthier Chesapeake Bay.
