It provides the Conservancy with a highly visible presence near the center of the 362 square mile watershed . It is close to the Perkiomen Creek and two of its tributaries, the East Branch and Swamp Creeks. The overall purpose of the Conservancy is to protect and conserve the natural resources of the Perkiomen watershed. Its basic principle is that all the people living in the watershed have a common interest in, and dependence on, the quality and quantity of their water, soil, air, wildlife, and other natural resources. The Conservancy provides an integrated approach to issues of the Perkiomen watershed area for the community through Environmental Education, Land Conservation and Protection, and Watchdog Activities.
