2020 has presented us all with so many challenges—and there are more ahead. Amidst incredible uncertainty, we have looked to our neighbors and our surroundings with new appreciation. The importance of home and the healing and solace we find in our shared architecture, open spaces, and history have never been more apparent. Will you continue to be a champion for our irreplaceable and vulnerable community?
As one of our final challenges of 2020, the Conservancy must raise $35,000Â to meet our fixed costs, so we can continue the work you rely on to advocate for our community and, together with you, inspire hope and nurture gratitude for the Chestnut Hill area communities and the Wissahickon watershed.
