The Brandywine Conservancy will work and provide services outside the Brandywine-Christina watershed where opportunities align with core competencies and are part of a comprehensive approach that results in increased conservation impact.
Prioritize Land And Programs
The Brandywine Conservancy will develop and refine criteria, based on sound science, public needs, and changing conditions, to prioritize land to conserve and restore, and where to best focus our programs. Use of these criteria will focus resources for maximum long-term success.
A Suite Of Services
The Brandywine Conservancy will use a suite of integrated services and tools to conserve and restore land, water and cultural resources. To respond to changing conditions, the Brandywine Conservancy will continue to experiment, innovate, and develop new tools and services. This may involve assessing and refining easement processes, and addressing conservation needs of the future.
Education And Engagement
The Brandywine Conservancy will expand education and engagement to connect people to the natural environment, involve key stakeholders; and improve management of natural lands, water and cultural resources. These efforts will build upon the educational opportunities available in conjunction with the Brandywine Museum of Art; partnering with schools and organizations; and continuing to develop educational materials for the public, landowners and municipal leaders.
