Join the Delaware Highlands Conservancy on November 5 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in The Boiler Room at the Hawley Silk Mill in Hawley, Wayne County for a special fall fundraising brunch and presentation.

“Environmental Sustainability and the Delaware Highlands Conservancy,” presented by Michael Cann, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, University of Scranton, and Delaware Highlands Conservancy Director, will examine how land conservation and sustainability help to protect present and future generations from the effects of the current ‘perfect environmental storm.’

Dr. Cann writes, “Population growth, affluenza and unfettered technological advances have created the ‘perfect environmental storm’ battering the shores of environmental sustainability across the globe. Land conservation is a fundamental and vital bulwark to this perfect storm, protecting our environment by ensuring essential ecological services. For more than a quarter century the Delaware Highlands Conservancy has been conserving the natural lands of the upper Delaware River watershed and now has a living laboratory in the Van Scott Nature Reserve.”

Attendees will enjoy a delicious brunch buffet catered by Settlers Inn at the Boiler Room inside the Hawley Silk Mill. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and join the discussion.

Event tickets are $75 per person and include a $25 charitable contribution to the Delaware Highlands Conservancy. Tickets may be purchased online or by phone at 570-226-3164 ext. 9.

Proceeds will support the Conservancy’s mission to protect the working farms and forests, clean waters, and wildlife habitat of the Upper Delaware River region, now and for future generations.
