The Schuylkill Action Network (SAN) is a collaborative network of over 300 partner organizations working together to improve water resources in the Schuylkill River watershed. With “action” as SAN’s middle name, SAN partners have been working since 2003 to implement best practices across the Schuylkill River Watershed.

¡Conoce tu cuenca! La Alianza para la Educación sobre la Cuenca del Río Delaware está formada por 23 centros de educación medioambiental de Nueva Jersey, Pensilvania y Delaware. El río Delaware es el más largo de los ríos no embalsados al este del Misisipi, y su cuenca se extiende hasta el norte del estado de Nueva York, proporcionando agua potable a más de 15 millones de personas, lo que supone casi el 5% de toda la población de Estados Unidos. La cuenca del río Delaware proporciona importantes hábitats ecológicos a multitud de especies, y ofrece recreo a ciclistas, excursionistas, remeros y otros aficionados a las actividades al aire libre. Explora. Disfruta. Participa. Los 23 centros educativos de la Alianza comparten la misión de aumentar y mejorar colectivamente la apreciación, el conocimiento y la administración de la cuenca del río Delaware.

The Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape is a group of local, county and state governments, land trusts, nonprofit organizations, watershed associations, and business representatives in a six-county area working together to protect, connect and sustain the amazing natural, recreational, and cultural gems in the Schuylkill Highlands. We are a diverse group of partners completing big picture projects together, that require complex cross-jurisdictional approaches. Our collaborative approach acts on a targeted set of goals using the power of partnership to advance our work together.

The Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape is a public-private partnership promulgated by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in 2006 entrusting Natural Lands to administer.

Conservation Landscapes have been established in eight defined areas in Pennsylvania, where there are strong natural assets, local readiness, and buy-in and they receive focused state-level investment from PA DCNR.

The Kittatinny Ridge—also known as Blue Mountain and North Mountain in some regions—runs through Pennsylvania for 185 miles from the Delaware Water Gap to the Mason-Dixon Line. The Ridge is the first prominent landscape feature you encounter as you move north or west from Philadelphia, and it marks the entrance to Pennsylvania’s Ridge and Valley Region. It provides the scenic backdrop to life in 12 counties, and is considered the most resilient landscape in the state for adapting to a changing climate.

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) designated the Kittatinny Ridge a Conservation Landscape (one of eight in PA) in 2018. Founded on a “sense of place,” a Conservation Landscape is a large region where residents, local officials, organizations, and agencies work together to drive strategic investment and actions around sustainability, conservation, community revitalization, civic engagement, and recreational projects. The landscape has strong natural assets, local readiness and buy-in, and state-level investment and support.
