Our vision is to create a local network of permanently protected and preserved lands by fostering a community committed to conservation and acquiring key lands and easements.The organization is an accredited land trust with the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, a mark of distinction in land conservation. Accredited land trusts meet national quality standards of sound finances, ethical conduct, responsible governance, and lasting stewardship. They uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent. false false 596840 Land Protection Program. CPC's Land Protection Committee directs the land protection activities of the organization within a five-county service area: Cumberland, Franklin, Perry, Dauphin, and Juniata Counties. CPC has prioritized the protection of key landscapes in our region: the Kittatinny Ridge Corridor and the South Mountain Landscape, targeting healthy forests, wildlife habitat, watershed and riparian protection, agricultural preservation, public access for outdoor recreation, and culturally important areas that define our natural heritage. The committee also oversees stewardship and annual monitoring of 28 conservation easement properties and 5 nature preserves. In Septemeber 2020, CPC purchased 404 acres of ridge and forest land on Peters Mountain in the Kittatinny Ridge Corridor of Dauphin County, supported by a state grant and private donations. This property adjoins DCNR's Joe Ibberson Conservation Area and the 44,000-acre State Game Lands #211. It also contains the Peters Mountain Shelter, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail along the ridgetop, natural springs, and the old Victroia Trail, the 1800's wagon road that crossed the gap. This land will be transfered to state and federal agencies to become public land in perpetuity. Letort Spring Garden Preserve. In 2018, CPC acquired and is now actively managing its flagship nature preserve, the Letort Spring Garden Preserve. This former commercial watercress farm consists of springs, seeps, headwaters, meadows, and forest buffer to the Letort Spring Run, a coldwater limestone stream important to fly anglers, naturalists, historians, and local residents. CPC aims to manage and improve the site for public access, recreation, historic preservation, interpretation, and ecological health and function. 596840 true true false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false true false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false PA X JASON ANDREW BEALE 7172414360 401 E LOUTHER STREET 308 CARLISLE PA 17013 ANNA YELK Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 48163 0 0 JOHN W CARROLL ESQ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHET HAGENBARTH Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA MORAN DANKO President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM ALLIS JR Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID MAHER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DON MAINS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEN OKORN Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAIRE JANTZ PHD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEVERLY GRENING Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SHAW Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD ROVEGNO Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE W LANE CPA Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBRA CORNELIUS Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TRACY AICHELE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 48163 0 false false false 0 62156 8277 163200 476775 223171 710408 TIMBER SALES 0 12514 12514 0 0 0 44345 35267 9078 9078 9078 10463 8277 10463 0 0 51 51 51 0 732051 21643 0 0 0 0 48163 38530 3853 5780 0 76184 74379 1805 0 0 10836 9839 493 504 0 0 4250 4250 0 0 2978 2978 20958 15459 4257 1242 0 711 569 57 85 0 0 12805 10245 1024 1536 1472 1126 177 169 0 0 0 0 920 736 74 110 7423 5939 594 890 LAND DONATION 416945 416945 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 11245 10063 473 709 Printing and Publications 5728 4583 458 687 MISCELLANEOUS 4677 3742 374 561 5498 4685 325 488 630793 596840 21192 12761 0 541225 340625 72900 35000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1614402 43956 1300345 1570446 289043 393584 0 0 0 19214 19214 2222727 2358869 11474 5066 11474 5066 X 1564804 1862503 646449 491300 2211253 2353803 2222727 2358869 101258 41292 X true X false true false X 156469 649316 472837 870847 710409 2859878 0 0 156469 649316 472837 870847 710409 2859878 460068 2399810 2565 8396 16557 14309 12514 54341 0 0 2914219 146807 0.82350 0.81990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 28 29 1 true false 200683 58249 39961 11324 287569 201687 6667 7671 200683 202823 6364 7500 201687 162722 26500 13601 202823 1.00000 false false false 1518153 1518153 51756 51756 44493 43956 537 1570446 Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements. CONSERVATION EASMENTS ARE RECORDED AT COST OR MARKET VALUE ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE OR DONATION ON THE BALANCE SHEET. A CONSERVATION PROJECT EXPENSE IS RECORDED FOR SETTLEMENT AND ACQUISITION COSTS. THE ENTITY SOMETIMES SELLS LAND TO AN ORGANIZATION TO BE MANAGED AS A HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE. STATE LAW RESTRICTS THE AMOUNT THE ORGANIZATION CAN PAY PER ACRE OF LAND; THEREFORE, THE PROPERTY IS SOLD FOR LESS THAN MARKET VALUE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL SALES PROCEEDS AND THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS RECORDED AS A DONATION OF LAND. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
