Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy

The Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy is a private non-profit organization based in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1964, the Conservancy is dedicated to conserving and protecting the land and water resources within the 362-square-mile Perkiomen Creek Watershed. With a staff of 13 employees, the organization generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. The Conservancy offers a range of programs and services aimed at preserving the watershed's quality. These include initiatives to combat pollution, ensure clean drinking water for local communities like Philadelphia, and promote environmental stewardship. They also host educational programs and classes for the public, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world. The Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy relies heavily on the support of its members, friends, local businesses, and corporations. A dedicated group of "Protectors of the Perkiomen" provide generous funding, allowing the Conservancy to continue its vital work. Individual, family, and business memberships offer various benefits, including discounts on programs and events, as well as a sense of community among environmental stewards.
