The Delaware Chapter of The Nature Conservancy is working to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. We use a science-based, non-confrontational approach and pursue pragmatic solutions to conservation challenges. We partner with individuals, communities, businesses, government and other non-profits to protect Delaware’s diverse lands and waters.
 For many years, The Nature Conservancy has worked at individual places throughout the Delaware Bayshores in hopes of capturing and conserving the landscape’s collective biological diversity. With climate change becoming a reality, and increasing population and development across the region, The Nature Conservancy has realized that conserving the Delaware Bayshores in the long-term will require an approach that reaches beyond the current project area. That’s why the Delaware Chapter, along with our colleagues in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, has been evaluating the entire Delaware Bay and Basin as part of a multi-state effort dedicated to conserving select “integrated landscapes” – areas having an impact on global conservation and in need of collective attention.
The Nature Conservancy is a member-based organization that raises money locally to support protection and restoration efforts by the Chapter’s eight staff members. Thus far the chapter has helped to protect over 29,000 acres and manages 5,300 acres in preserves in Kent and Sussex Counties. For more information, please visit www.nature.org/delaware
