Clark Nature Preserve

Описание: The Clark Associates Charitable Foundation, in celebration of the Clark Associates’ 50th Anniversary, made a $5 million gift to the Lancaster Conservancy in 2021. This important philanthropic contribution will help support land acquisition efforts and stewardship of the nature preserves in the Lancaster River Hills, an area along the Susquehanna River between Safe Harbor and Holtwood Dam. In honor and recognition of this incredible generosity, the Lancaster Conservancy combined three separate nature preserves previously known as Pequea South, House Rock, and Reed Run, currently totaling 373 acres, and renamed them the Clark Nature Preserve. Philanthropic partnerships are truly invaluable and the Conservancy is grateful to the Clark Associates for their commitment to supporting the work of this organization and to providing opportunities for this community.

The Conservancy, in further recognition of the $5 million gift from the Clark Associates Charitable Foundation, will also name a soon-to-be built universally accessible trail in memory of the Clark Associates’ founder, Lloyd Clark. This trail will loop through the meadow located by the main parking area at House Rock Road. The plans for this new trail also include accessible wildlife blinds and will provide even more members of our community, including those who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices, the ability to explore this unique meadow ecosystem and participate in hunting, a passion of Lloyd Clark.
