10 Terrific Things You Can Do as a Conservancy Member

1. Find a fox.
Hike with us through open spaces in search of nature's neighbors.

2. Walk back in time
From springhouses to abandoned mills, our region is blessed with abundant reminders of our history, and we’ll take you to places like the site of Ben Franklin favorite mill, or the ruins of a dormitory that housed workers for a gun mill.

3. Dive into streams
Measure a creek's temperature at a StreamWatch event.

4. Track Developments
Follow land development issues in our newsletter which gives you vital information unavailable elsewhere.

5. Discover your home’s history
Our historic preservation workshops give you the tools you need to research the genealogy of a very important place, your own home!

6. Count dragonflies
The StreamWatch project trains volunteers to collect, count and identify stream insects. As a member, we’ll show you how to catch young dragonflies, a common stream inhabitant.

7. Grow Butterflies
Help a butterfly garden flourish in Rolling Hill Park.

8. Debate the issues.
Our newsletter provides the detailed coverage you demand to understand and explore local issues, giving you the information you need to engage in the debate. And our events allow you to discuss these issues firsthand with key experts and policy makers.

9. Lower your impact.
From proper disposal of paint cans to how you can preserve your home in perpetuity, our journal and programs offer you the advice you seek to reduce your personal impact on environmental systems.

10. Testify!
We work with our members to encourage active citizenship, involvement in the political processes that preserve natural and historic resources and the character of our community.
