The Lancaster Conservancy has been working for over 50 years to provide wild and forested lands and clean waterways for our community. The Conservancy has protected over 7,000 acres of land in 47 nature preserves with over 40 miles of hiking trails. These nature preserves are open to the public free of charge, 365 days a year, and provide opportunities for education and passive recreation like hiking, fishing, hunting, and swimming.
