About the Cranberry Conservancy
Through strategic partnerships, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement, the Cranberry Conservancy, a committee of the Cranberry Foundation, is dedicated to strengthening the connection between Cranberry Township residents and the outdoors. Its efforts include cultivating a strong donor network, identifying and advancing priority projects, securing grants and sponsorships, and collaborating with organizations and community leaders.
​
Looking ahead, the future of Powell Farm and the Cranberry Greenway Plan is envisioned as one rooted in conservation, stewardship, and long-term resilience. A future where agricultural demonstrations support sustainable farming practices, soil health, crop diversity, and farm-to-table innovation, and a connected system of trails and greenways fosters not only physical access but also social and psychological connections throughout the community.​
Dedicated to reinforcing Cranberry Township's historic roots and core values by:
Connecting

The Cranberry Conservancy is cultivating lasting green spaces, enhanced nature trails, and engaging environmental programs at Powell Farm to connect our community with the land.

In addition, supporters may be invited to participate in select volunteer, stewardship, and community engagement activities connected to the Conservancy’s programs and initiatives.
