Join The Partnership

In addition to the large scale partnership accomplishments, each partner contributes their own individual projects to the success of conservation and outdoor recreation in the Lehigh Valley. The spider-web of partner connections and projects quickly multiplies the impact that a single organization can make to a region. In addition to celebrating group accomplishments, we celebrate each partner’s individual successes at the annual Lehigh Valley Greenways retreat each January with highlight sheets provided by each organization.
