2019
A Year in Review
2019 was an exciting and productive year for Pocono Heritage Land Trust, filled with new opportunities that helped our organization grow. We reflect on the successes of the past year while looking forward to new projects and events that will keep us busy in 2020.

Thank you to your members, who have supported us financially, through volunteering their time, and by attending a variety of events. Your membership helps our organization thrive and grow, and we wouldn't be where we are now without you.
Benefits of Beavers
Stay tuned for before and after photos of the benefits of beaver habitat on our preserves!
In November, The Pennsylvania Game Commission asked PHLT if we would like our Yankee Run Nature Preserve in Mount Pocono to be the new home for a relocated wild beaver: We were happy to oblige!

According to pbs.org, beavers provide many benefits to wildlife and human communities, such as:

-building dams that keep more water on the land and mitigate the effects of droughts in arid environments.

-creating dams that have the ability to replenish fresh water wetlands, which can become happy homes to many animals.

-creating broad meadows, rich with silt, and new ponds, which can break down toxins, such as pesticides.
