About the Consortium
The Lancaster County Conservation District incorporated the Conservation Foundation ("Foundation") of Lancaster County, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation which is qualified as a 501(c) (3) exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code, to promote, support and sustain the stewardship of land, water and other natural resources. Since its formation in 2007, the Foundation has been looking for an opportunity to further its mission. The Consortium provides this opportunity. The Lancaster Conservation District and the Foundation have each unanimously voted to endorse the Consortium and to have the Foundation govern the Consortium.
