lands protected forever and also provides innovative land use and environmental planning services to communities, municipalities and other governmental agencies. Since 1967, the organization has facilitated the permanent protection of over 70,200 acres of open space— including the Radnor Hunt racecourse itself and surrounding lands—and
holds more than 510 conservation and agricultural easements.
A cornerstone of the Conservancy’s work involves efforts to improve environmental sustainability. With
this focus in mind, the Conservancy recently launched a new Climate Resiliency Initiative designed to help local municipalities and landowners proactively address climate change. The Initiative targets two types of action—climate mitigation (direct, tangible efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions) and climate adaptation (planning for resilience against the impacts of climate change)— and brings together the Conservancy’s cross-departmental expertise in technical assistance, funding, education, planning and project implementation. It’s one
of the many ways the Conservancy engages its community to make impactful changes throughout the region, along with continuous efforts to improve and safeguard water quality, land protection, outdoor recreation and historic preservation.
Based in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the Conservancy is one of two
programs that make up the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art, which preserves and promotes the natural and cultural connections between the area’s beautiful landscape, historic sites and important artists. The other program, the Brandywine Museum of Art, features a renowned collection of historic and contemporary works of American art, housed in a 19th-century mill building with a dramatic steel and glass addition overlooking the banks of the Brandywine Creek. The museum engages visitors of all ages through a robust array of special exhibitions and programs. Together,
the two programs unite the inspiring experiences of art and nature, enhancing the quality of life in its community and among its diverse audiences.
