Pennsylvania’s
Conservation Heritage is the People, Places, and
Policies, of our past that contribute to our
understanding of the role of conservation in protecting
and enhancing our environment and quality of life for
future generations.
The PAEP realizes that, with a better understanding of
Conservation Heritage, we can learn from the
conservation successes and failures of the past,
understand what motivated our many important
conservation leaders and citizens to overcome the
obstacles of conservation, and so that we can teach
others about the benefits of conservation. It is the
goal of the PAEP to promote Pennsylvania’s Conservation
Heritage.
The PAEP was instrumental in the passage of Senate
Resolution No. 324 which encourages the Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum Commission to “work with other
public and private organizations to help promote local
and regional elements of the conservation heritage of
the commonwealth.”
