The Delaware Highlands Conservancy is a land trust dedicated to conserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Upper Delaware River Watershed.
The Conservancy's 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.
The Conservancy has two offices, one in Hawley, PA and one in Sullivan County, NY. We do our important work with an extremely dedicated but minimally paid staff supported mainly through the generous contributions of our members. The heavy lifting is done by our citizen volunteers. Our citizen volunteers directly participate in the projects, events, and specific conservation activities vital to sustaining our ecological health and rural quality of life.
The Conservancy is focused on educating the community through educational resources, workshops, and special events regarding environmental sustainability and good stewardship practices. We are committed to promoting the active connection of local citizens to the working farms and forestlands of our region.
