Expanding Our Horizons
The Campaign to Protect, Restore, and Preserve the Landscape

The Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust has embarked on a $6 million campaign to protect, restore, and preserve the lands of the Pennypack Preserve natural area. Bolstered by challenge grants, every dollar donated to the Campaign will be matched by an additional dollar from the Beneficia, Asplundh, and Brickman foundations. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact with your contribution.
