Bradford Woods Conservancy

 A fund of the Allegheny Land Trust, the Bradford Woods Conservancy promotes and maintains the natural beauty

   of the Bradford Woods community.  

   We are the stewards for The Bradford Woods Reserve, a 4.5-acre acre natural property and the Lake Loop Trail.

   Both areas preserved in a natural state for all to enjoy.

    Our Mission is to promote education, appreciation and conservation of the community,

   encourage environmental stewardship of  our natural resources as they affect Bradford Woods and surrounding communities.

  Our goals include maintenance of the Reserve, trail building and maintenance,

   and educating all about the many aspects of the local environment.

  In addition to stewardship events such as trail maintenance and invasive plant removals, the Conservancy hosts several annual events in The Reserve: 

 an Earth Day celebration in April,

Story Telling Night in July,

and Light Up Night in December. 

 We sponsor a Speaker Series several times a year, bringing programs of interest to the community

about a wide variety of topics.  Please see our calendar for more information about upcoming events.

Please consider joining us at one of our events.

Our memberships must be renewed annually; you can print out and send in a hard copy of our Membership form
