Heritage Conservancy's Hike-A-Thon is a summer-long initiative that is hosted by the Young Friends Network and the Business Member Committee of Heritage Conservancy. 

Each team is working to raise funds based on the number of miles they hike or walk on one of Heritage Conservancy's preserved properties or a public hiking trail. Help sponsor their summer hike! For every $1 raised, they will hike 1 mile. 

Heritage Conservancy will host FREE (open to the public) hikes on our preserved properties. 

• Saturday, June 9 @ Hart's Woods Preserve, Doylestown, PA  (9AM - 11AM)
• Saturday, September 8 @ Fuller Preserve, Springfield, PA (9AM - 11AM) 

Help support their cause! 

Funds raised from this summer-long project will go toward Heritage Conservancy's Education Beyond the Classroom initiative which will provide students with nature explorer backpacks and allow for Heritage Conservancy to host a teacher's workshop which will guide educators in planning their own nature field trip for their students!
