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.

Our Campaign Goals Protecting Natural Areas through Land Acquisition $3.5 Million The strategic addition of carefully selected forests and wetlands will dramatically strengthen the ecological integrity of our ecosystem. During the next five years, we plan to secure up to ten additional green spaces adjacent to the Preserve. Restoring Natural Assets through Land Stewardship $1.5 Million Even land that has been protected from development is vulnerable to damage from non-native plants, overabundant deer, and other factors. Over time our fragile natural assets can be lost without ecological restoration efforts. Current critical projects include: completing the Raytharn Farm meadows; rescuing the Paper Mill Road woods; and restoring the Webb Memorial Walk. Preserving the Land through Endowment $1 Million The lands that have been acquired and restored require constant maintenance to allow visitors to both learn from and enjoy them. Funds raised to increase the Trust’s endowment will ensure the necessary maintenance of trails, meadows, and forests in the Preserve, now and into the future.
