Land Conservation

With the help of community partners, grantors, and donors, Heritage Conservancy has facilitated the preservation of over 16,000 acres of open space, farmland, wildlife habitat, and important watershed areas in Bucks and surrounding counties. This preserved land helps to protect water quality as well as the quality of life for our community.

Heritage Conservancy is nationally accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.

Services for Landowners

It’s the home or property that has been in your family for generations and you want to protect it. What’s the next step? We can help you carry out your wishes while meeting your financial needs.

Services for Municipalities

Greenway and Trail Planning
Part of our mission is to connect people with the land. Connecting a network of natural corridors through trails is one of the best ways we know to engage the public with their natural environment.

Open Space Planning
We develop long-range strategies for the permanent protection of your community’s vital natural resources through writing open space plans and implementation, landowner outreach, grant writing and drafting of conservation easements, baseline documentation, and easement monitoring.
