Mission Statement

Earth Conservancy is a nonprofit organization committed to the reclamation and return of 16,000 acres of former coal company-owned land to the region. It collaborates with local communities, government agencies, education institutions and the private sector to spearhead the creation and implementation of plans that restore the land’s economic, recreational, residential and ecological value.

Earth Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the impacts of historical coal mining practices in Northeastern Pennsylvania. They believe that, through reclamation, both environmental restoration and economic revitalization can occur.

In the last 25 years, nearly 2,000 acres of mine-scarred lands have been reclaimed and now are available for – or are already in – constructive use. The Conservancy is also proud of its efforts to mitigate the damage of acid mine drainage in local watersheds.

Earth Conservancy’s overarching plan is to seek a more livable community now, and clear the way for positive, progressive change for future generations.
