Formerly the Bucks County Conservancy the Heritage Conservancy has been advocating land conservation and historic preservation since 1958. The word Heritage conveys concepts of birthright, legacy, inheritance, and entitlement.
Conservancy denotes preservation, protection, and safekeeping.
The Conservancy's mission involves responding to environmental and historical conservation opportunities outward from Bucks County through Pennsylvania as well as neighboring states. The Heritage Conservancy strives to maintain the character of the landscape and historic heritage which contributes to the quality of life for those who live and work in their areas of influence. The Conservancy manages a number of historic structures including its own headquarters, Aldie Mansion, in Doylestown. A greenway on both sides of the Delaware River and its tributaries is being protected by building alliances with local landowners and municipalities as well as through developing cooperation between community members and environmental organizations. Volunteer Opportunities Anyone interested in playing a major role in preserving our natural and historic environment is encouraged to contribute time and talent.
