50 YEARS AGO: Standing on the Shoulders of Visionaries

The Lancaster Conservancy was founded by anglers, hunters and naturalists who witnessed the rapid development of Lancaster County. The question they faced? How do we hold back the tide of human destruction of our precious land?

banding together in 1969, these visionaries decreed that we need to acquire and protect our remaining forests, wetlands, and streams before they are destroyed forever. The premise that “some land is so beautiful, so rare, so natural it should be protected for public benefit” has driven our acquisitions asa Celebrating land trust to this day. Inspired by great visionaries the Conservancy 50 stepped up when government stopped using eminent YEARS domain to save our wild areas. For 50 years, we acquired land—an expensive undertaking. Today we are the largest private property owner for public benefit in Central PA. We manage over 6,000 acres, with 40 plus miles of trails and 42 miles of streams in dozens of nature preserves. Our beautiful properties are a gift, enjoyed by thousands of people who can take a walk in woods not more than 10 miles away from any home in Lancaster County. But a huge challenge with owning public lands is that we have to steward them. This means balancing the impact of people who love to escape into nature with the ecosystems we strive to nurture and protect. We have had to create an army of volunteers and supporters to help care for our natural lands—saving our pollinators, saving our dwindling bird populations, saving nature! Our very future depends on it. Looking into the Future The question our founders wrestled with is still the question we face 50 years later. Population explosion in Lancaster and Central PA means we have to accelerate our land protection efforts. In 20 years, Lancaster is 50 YEARS of SAVING NATURE

projected to grow by 115,000 people, causing another 25,000 acres to be lost to development. We need to step up now to save everything we can. By doubling down on acquiring land and expanding our existing preserves we will knit the land in the Susquehanna Riverlands into a destination worthy of national recognition. To accomplish this we are launching an affiliate called York Wildlands. This will allow us to engage support in York to channel resources and land into our effort to preserve natural lands along the Susquehanna. Over time some issues do change. Today we are faced with issues like clean water­ and climate change that were not the driving force for conservation 50 years ago. The cleanup requires us to focus on our impaired­ waterways. When we save our wooded hills and mountains, we also save our streams. Water Week has become a critical way to expand our partnerships and bring hundreds of new people into the movement to save the wild lands we love. Climate change pushes all of us to act locally, saving trees and changing behavior to help save our planet. Educating the next generation is an important part of the solution. Susquehanna Riverlands Research and Education Center at Climbers Run brings students and adults together to learn about the importance of our natural lands. Our efforts may feel like we’ve put our fingers in the dike of population growth and environmental destruction, but if we can save nature for fu- ture generations and protect our remaining natural landscapes along the Susquehanna and in the Highlands, our efforts will restore a balance to our lands.

Thank you,

Phil Wenger, President and CEO

Saving Natural Lands

At the Conservancy, our job is to find, fund, preserve, and maintain natural lands in Lancaster and York Counties so that community members and visitors can enjoy them for years to come.

Land protection In 2018, we acquired new lands and moved various projects closer to completion:

 An agreement to acquire and preserve the Boy Scouts’ 246 acre Wizard Ranch property in Hellam Township

 Acquisition of four acre Pole Island in the 140 acres  Acquisition of three additional properties in the of natural lands, Susquehanna Riverlands worth more than Partnerships, Grants and Support $1.3 million The Department of Conservation were acquired in 2018. and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) awarded the Conservancy with $638,800 in grants to protect 126 acres within the Susquehanna Riverlands 1,331 acres and Pennsylvania Highlands.

Ongoing partnership with Brookfield Renewable saw the final steps completed in preparation for the donation of 545 acres of beautiful utility lands to the Conservancy for permanent preservation. We also facilitated an agreement between our sister organization Natural Lands, the Game Commission, and the Boy Scouts to protect hundreds of acres of forest—part of Camp Mack—in the nationally-recognized Highlands region.

Introducing Lancaster-York Natural Area Scoring (LYNAS) In 2018, the Conservancy created an innovative, data-driven model to update our land protection priorities. Lancaster-York Natural Area Scoring (LYNAS) uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to automatically produce a score of 1-100 for any tax parcels in Lancaster County and the Susquehanna River- lands of York County, reflecting our focus on large landscapes.

Caring for Nature

The Conservancy manages 46 nature preserves and 69 conservation easements—6,264 acres in total. Our preserves are managed to create habitat for animals, to protect plants and trees, and to provide public access to nature.

Integrated Land Management Plan Our Stewardship Team is consistently balancing routine maintenance needs (ensuring ecosystem health through habitat restoration and invasive species removal) with infrastructure needs in order to provide a variety of recreation opportunities such as trails for hiking and access for hunting. To better address the needs of Con- servancy lands, the Stewardship Team is developing an innovative Integrated Land Management Plan that will 6,264 help to broaden our perspective, refine our scope, and acres of natural land address the difference between preserves’ needs and protected since 1969 Conservancy resources. By listening and responding to the natural and contextual landscapes that surrounds us, the Conservancy will be better prepared to continue 46 our role of preserving vital natural lands. nature preserves The Conservancy continued to add professional staff over the past three years, including a Preserves 69 Manager; a GIS Specialist/Project Manager; and a conservation seasonal Land Steward. Other seasonal positions easements provide Interpretive Ranger services and paid summer-experience Land Steward opportunities for conservation-oriented college students.
