Directions Website Contact the organization

A nonprofit, conserving and protecting the environment. Visit our website: hfconservancy.org All are welcome to join our efforts.

Hemlock Farms Conservancy began in 2009 as a concept of a group of conservation minded HFCA staff and community members. These individuals saw the need to educate others about the natural resources of the greater Pike County, PA area. Their desire has become an active volunteer group that works hard to conserve, protect, and sustain the forested ecosystem that is so beloved by Pike County residents and visitors. Hemlock Farms Conservancy has raised awareness of environmental issues through educational activities, guided outdoor events and trail walks, camp events, and partnership with other conservation entities. Conservancy has also provided funding and scholarships for organizations and students within Hemlock Farms and Pike County. All of this is accomplished through the efforts of an all-volunteer Board of Trustees and staff. These volunteers give generously of their time, talent, and treasure. Hemlock Farms Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization as described by the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our Mission: As stewards of the close relationship between people and the environment, Hemlock Farms Conservancy seeks to conserve, protect, and sustain our forested natural resources. We accomplish this through education, funding, and support of projects in Hemlock Farms and the greater Pike County area.

Protect our streams, ponds, and lakes!

💧Watershed Wednesday💧

☀️Summer means time on the water—but it’s also peak season for aquatic invasive species hitchhiking between streams, rivers, and lakes. Invasive species are non-native plants and animals that don’t belong here, and once introduced, they can outcompete native wildlife, spread disease, and choke waterways.

In Pennsylvania, that includes tiny but mighty troublemakers like the New Zealand mudsnail, aggressive species like Rusty Crayfish, large grazers like Chinese/Japanese mysterysnails, and well-known threats like zebra mussels and Northern Snakehead. Some are nearly invisible. Others hide in mud, gear, or bait buckets. All of them spread fast. 🦪🐌🌿

🧼 The solution is simple—and it’s the law:
CLEAN your boat, kayak, waders, and gear
DRAIN all water from motors, wells, and compartments
DRY everything completely before entering another waterbody

Pay special attention to trolling motors, waders, boots, bait buckets, and fishing equipment. Prevention is the most effective tool we have.
