We maintain the official county inventory of historic sites, award plaques to recognize historic buildings, host special events, and provide educational programs. We work with groups and individuals to preserve specific sites and areas. We also publish guides to the area and books on special topics like gristmills. To build a sustainable future for Berks County, some trends need to be reversed and others encouraged. In assessing community needs and priorities, the Conservancy looks at Berks County as a whole, and chooses those initiatives which have positive, long-term benefits to the region and its future environmental quality.
Partnership is a theme of all Berks County Conservancy endeavors.
