We do this by identifying strategic properties, working with landowners, and preparing and negotiating conservation agreements to protect remaining open spaces. Once the land is protected by conservation easement, the Trust monitors and enforces compliance with the agreement in perpetuity to ensure its continued benefit for the general public consistent with the easement terms. Through habitat restoration efforts and other stewardship activities, the Trust strives to educate and instill an ecological conscience in landowners and others by which all people embrace their responsibility for the continued health and well-being of land and waterways. 605367 15966 Bird Conservation Program - See Schedule OBird Conservation Program - The Trust's Bird Conservation Program works to enhance and promote bird conservation in the Willistown area and beyond.

The program's centerpiece is Rushton Farm, a six-acre portion of an 86-acre protected land preserve in Willistown Township employing the latest agricultural techniques, without the use of pesticides or herbicides, and operated as a model farm and educational tool. The Farm offers numerous opportunities to engage and teach people throughout the community demonstrating firsthand the importance of agroecology, a blend of sustainable agriculture and protection of natural resources.
