FOREVER Begins in Your Own Backyard.
Since 1973, everyday champions for land and selfless generosity, have made a difference you can see, touch, breathe in, and feel in our own very special part of the planet.

In the past 50 years, Wildlands has:
  • protected more than 60,000 acres of irreplaceable lands
  • planted 25,000 trees
  • restored more than 600 acres to support the Lehigh River watershed and native habitat
  • established a network of 14 nature preserves
  • and much more!
50 years ago, dozens of ordinary people in the Lehigh Valley became extraordinary champions. They took unprecedented action to protect our land and water, our sense of place, and our quality of life. Together with the inspiration of visionaries Bob Rodale and Leonard Parker Pool, they created Wildlands Conservancy.

All these people embody the spirit of Earth Day—and they’re tapping on your shoulder to say: Thank you for your support. You’ve helped keep our vision alive, and you’re part of the legacy that makes an amazing and lasting difference!

This year’s International Earth Day theme is “Invest in Our Planet.” You can invest right here where we live.

You can create the future you want to live in with an annual fund gift today. Your gift will help create the brighter, greener spaces tomorrow that you want to see, explore, and share with your children and grandchildren.

Your donation today will give Wildlands the resources to:
  • Permanently protect more than 2,000 acres in the months ahead. The bulk of these lands is critical to Wildlands honoring our promise of clean water and a healthy environment.
  • Enhance our Lehigh Valley-based preserves for improved access, expansion, wildlife habitat, and (literally) in-the-field learning adventures for middle and high school students.
  • Restore miles of streams in Lehigh and Northampton counties for clean water, outdoor recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat.
  • Maintain existing open spaces, nature preserves, trails, and facilities that so many active families and outdoor adventurers enjoy every season of the year.

Like the ordinary people who came before us and blazed the amazing trail forward, imagine how much we can do together.

If you can increase your donation by even a little, we can make our land preservation efforts go even further! This Earth Day, it’s our turn—and your turn—to take the lead.
If you have already donated for Earth Day, we THANK YOU for your continued support from all of us at Wildlands Conservancy, today and every day.
