Central PA Conservancy

The Central PA Conservancy (CPC) is dedicated to preserving important and at-risk properties through fee-simple purchases and conservation easements for the benefit of the community. The preserved land protects streams, keeps the air clean, and provides beautiful views for everyone. CPC also manages the Ironmaster's Mansion at Pine Grove Furnace State Park, using it as a hostel, education center, and venue for various events. The organization emphasizes conservation education as the first step in protecting natural resources and relies on the support of members and foundations for all of its work. CPC saves imperiled natural areas and working lands through conservation easements and acquisitions, with 100% of its work supported by members and foundations.
