Accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, Heritage Conservancy's mission is to preserve our natural and historic heritage. 

Heritage Conservancy was founded in 1958 as the Bucks County Park Foundation. Since that time, we have become an acknowledged leader in land and historic preservation throughout eastern Pennsylvania and western central New Jersey, with activity in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, and York Counties in Pennsylvania and in Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties in New Jersey. 

We have preserved thousands of acres of land and dozens of historic sites, and we have created many watershed, river and open space plans and feasibility studies.

Heritage Conservancy preserves the open spaces and historic places that are so essential to our region's quality of life by working with citizens, community groups, private landowners, municipalities, and state and federal agencies to promote and implement open space and natural resource protection, green urban planning, agricultural land protection, innovative sustainable land use practices, preservation and/or adaptive re-use of historic structures, wildlife habitat restoration and best land management practices.
