Lancaster County Conservancy Receives Conservation Agency Service Award
On March 18, 2010, the Lancaster County Conservation District presented the Conservation Agency Service Award to the Lancaster County Conservancy. The award is presented to an agency that has shown immense contribution and assistance in conserving land, water, and related natural resources. The Lancaster County Conservancy was recognized for its pioneering development of the Conestoga Greenway Trail. First envisioned almost a century ago, the 1.3 mile trail along the Conestoga River will connect East Lancaster with the Lancaster County Central Park, and will provide recreational opportunity to walkers, joggers, bicyclist, and outdoor enthusiasts. Among many other contributions, the Conservancy has provided over 40 years of land conservation, education, and stewardship. They have preserved some of Lancaster County’s most precious landscapes including Tucquan Glen, Steinman’s Run, and the Susquehanna River Hills. Their efforts continue across the county, including the acquisition of 875 acres of Welsh Mountain interior forest, and over 3500 acres of the Susquehanna River corridor. The Conservancy has not just been stewards of our forests and waterways, but has enthusiastically shared them with all, to enjoy for generations. Congratulations to the Lancaster County Conservancy, recipients of the 2010 Conservation Agency Service Award.
