Ridge and Valley Conservancy is an accredited, non-profit land trust formed in 1992, working towards preserving a region that is abundant in natural beauty and biodiversity protected for the future. We serve the public interest by protecting open space for ecological, recreational, aesthetic, agricultural and cultural purposes. The Conservancy acquires important lands and easements by purchase or
donation, manages land for the benefit of nature and the public, assists in the stewardship of public lands, and advises landowners as to ecologically sound land management
• Our efforts positively impact your air and water quality, enhance sensitive ecosystems, and provide critical wildlife habitat.
• We have protected and currently steward more than 2,500 acres of preserved lands, many of which offer public access for passive recreation, including hiking, nature study, and photography.
• We help landowners identify the best preservation options for their land.
• We educate the public about the importance of open space, provide opportunities to volunteer, and offer educational programs and events.
• RVC partners with local governments, other organizations, and landowners to facilitate preservation.
