Landowners

Attracting jobs…enhancing property values…saving billions in government costs. Numerous reports have shown that conserving open space in our communities is vital to protecting the economic and natural landscapes upon which we all rely.

The Conservation Buyer Program

WPC's Conservation Buyer Program connects potential conservation-minded real estate buyers with sellers. Our program offers properties that have conservation or recreational amenities to those who love nature, the outdoors, and activities such as hunting, fishing, camping and hiking.

Hunters and Hikers

Western Pennsylvania Conservancy currently owns and manages almost 10,000 acres, including Bear Run Nature Reserve in Fayette County, areas encompassing Lake Pleasant in Erie County, and portions of Sideling Hill Creek in Bedford and Fulton counties.  These lands, and some on which we hold conservation easements (e.g., the 11,000-acre Crawford Reserve in Venango County) are open for public use and enjoyment.

Volunteers

Volunteers are critical to the success of WPC and play an important role in the protection and preservation of the land, water and life under our care. We appreciate any time you can contribute to our ongoing efforts.
