LEADING THE WAY ...
Bedminster Regional Land Conservancy was one of the first 22 land trusts out of 1,700 in the nation to apply for and receive accreditation from the Land Trust Accreditation Commission in 2008! The BRLC is currently one of just over 100 accredited land trusts nationwide.
Always striving to maintain the highest standard practices for land trusts, BRLC has earned national recognition. The accreditation seal recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national standards for excellence, uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent.

Adopt-A-Highway Program SIGN UP !
We have proudly adopted a stretch of Rt. 413 between Pt.Pleasant Pike and Groveland Road near the ball field and Luberto's takeout and will be cleaning up that area every 6 months. We held our first cleanup on October 1st, and our spring 2012 cleanup. Both occasions resulted in the collection of many bags! If you would like to help with this task in the fall, we encourage anyone interested to contact Donna Shaw.
Come on out for our fall clean up date (TBD) and have fun while helping your community! We're helping to "Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful."
