The Conservancy was established in 1964 and has been committed to protecting the water resources of the Perkiomen Creek through environmental education and meaningful conservation stewardship for 45 years.
The Conservancy’s Strategic Plan, updated in 2008, includes 3 primary objectives that will guide our efforts for the next 5 years. These Strategic Objectives are:
| 1. Educate & Inspire |
| 2. Provide Tools for Action |
| 3. Engage the Watershed Community |
Participation in the Protectors of the Perkiomen provides an opportunity for your business to be a green leader in your community. Protectors also receive direct benefits valued between $1,290 and $6,290. (see below)
Protectors of the Perkiomen are noted as supporters of all Conservancy programs and events and will be specifically noted at the Conservancy’s signature activities:
* Annual watershed-wide Stream Clean-up: As many as 500
volunteers participate in the annual Stream Clean-Up. Protectors
help offset the many costs of organizing this event. The Clean-Up
focuses on designated areas for maximum water quality impact and
volunteer involvement. |
* Streambank Restoration Projects: Erosion of streambanks and
sedimentation of creeks are primary causes of poor water quality in
the Perkiomen watershed. Streambank restoration and riparian
buffer enhancements help keep soil in place and protect instream
habitats. Protectors help offset many miscellaneous costs that
funding grants will not cover. |
* Environmental Education: The Conservancy’s EE programs are
unmatched in the area and provide exceptional hands-on learning
experiences for all age groups and abilities. Understanding how
the environment works is the first step toward finding sustainable
ways to support local economic prosperity. |
* Outreach: Protector’s contributions also support increased media
attention on conservation and education efforts throughout the
Perkiomen watershed. |
