Conservation minded citizens in York County are invited to a meeting on October 23 to explore the idea of forming the York County Conservation Alliance.

The initial goal is to bring together groups interested in conservation, preservation, environmental, and recreation to work together to conserve and preserve York County’s green spaces, and farmland, streams, creeks and rivers, recreational trails and historic sites.

The role of the Alliance would be one of providing information; and the power in numbers, when it comes to educating the public on the issues in York County. Each member group would stand on its own, with no interference from the Alliance but with the support of the Alliance, if needed, thru information and communication among the members.

If your group is interested in learning more about the Alliance, or would like to join with the others now involved with developing the Alliance, please join us for a start up meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m., at the Penn State – York Campus, The Ruhl Community Building conference room.

For more information, contact Jane Heller at 717-845-3797 by sending email to: hssmdpets@aol.com.
