In her famous work âSilent Spring,â Rachel Carson wrote, âThose who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature â the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.â
One way to discover this beauty right in our own backyards is by volunteering with the Lancaster Conservancy.
Since 1969, the conservancy has been working to provide Lancaster, York and Berks counties with wild and forested lands and clean waterways.
The conservancy manages 47 nature preserves and 69 conservation easements, over 7,500 acres in total.
