WeConservePA was created 30 years ago by Pennsylvania’s land conservation organizations because they recognized the need for an association that could focus on the broad needs of the conservation movement—to take on activities that no one organization could effectively handle or wish to handle on its own. As a voting member organization, your staff, board, and volunteers will be an essential part of a partnership that advances the work of Pennsylvania’s conservation organizations.

Nearly all Pennsylvania land trusts are members of WeConservePA. By joining WeConservePA, you invest in the future of conservation, helping organizations become stronger and more effective, while also advancing conservation more generally.

Member Requirements

Regular voting membership is open to nonprofit organizations who support WeConservePA’s goals and who: acquire land or conservation easements for conservation purposes; or provide stewardship of land or conservation easements; or assist organizations in accomplishing land trust work; or generally advance the cause of land and water conservation. If you do not meet the requirements to be a voting member, you can still strengthen the association by joining as an Affiliate today.

Member Benefits

Your membership is crucial to support WeConservePA’s work to help conservation practitioners improve their effectiveness. As a member organization, you will also benefit from:

Cutting-edge information. WeConservePA tracks the trends and issues that can impact your work, helping you stay ahead of the curve.

Direct technical and financial assistance. WeConservePA can help with everything from finding the answers to confounding questions to providing money for easement projects.
