Our membership consists of young families, business owners, retirees, students, seniors, parents, farmers, recreational athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, educators, sportsmen - simply those that care about our quality of life in Berks County - now and for future generations. Our land, water, history, and recreational opportunities affect each and every one of us.
Surprisingly, we have numerous out-of-state members that have family roots in Berks County. Families from California, Texas, Ohio, and elsewhere support our work in Berks. The following letter was received from a member and his family in Ohio to commend our work on Neversink Mountain:
“Dear Berks County Conservancy -
I’m so happy to see that the mountain that was my childhood playground is being protected from development. I get home to visit my mother twice a year. Most of what was farm fields when I grew up is now housing developments. It is great to still be able to walk out the front door of the house I grew up in and be able to hike up into the woods.
Keep up the good work!
Rick Bady
Proctorville, OH”
