Beneficiaries

Willistown Conservation Trust
The mission of the Willistown Conservation Trust is to preserve the open land, rural character, scenic, historic, and ecologically significant resources of the Willistown area and nearby communities, with particular emphasis on the Crum, Ridley and Darby Creek watersheds. The mission is accomplished primarily by working with area land owners to acquaint them with options available to them in planning for the future of their lands, and assisting them in the implementation of those plans.

WCT conservation projects with land owners include the use of such options as family estate planning tools, the donation or sale of fee title and partial interests in the land (conservation easements) and involvement with various public and educational programs established to encourage the conservation of scenic, agricultural, historic or environmentally significant land. To date there are nearly 5,000 acres of protected land in the Willistown Conservation Trust Program area.
