Earth Conservancy

Dedicated to Mine Land Reclamation, Conservation and Economic Development in the Wyoming Valley of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

Welcome to Earth Conservancy, a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1992 to address the problem of abandoned coal mine lands, specifically the Blue Coal Corporation lands totaling more than 16,300 acres in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. 

In this website we provide information about our organization and our projects, which focus on environmental and economic improvements through the reclamation of our lands and watersheds. Follow the menu selections on the left or below to learn more about our mission and goals.

Earth Conservancy is now accepting public comments on its Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) report and the alternatives for the Hanover 9A Reclamation Project.  The project is partially funded through a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Cleanup Grant. A copy of the ABCA, submitted to the EPA, is available for review at our offices, located at 101 S. Main St. Ashley, PA 18706, and by clicking HERE. Comments can be sent to j.dickman@earthconservancy.org. A public meeting will take place at 4 p.m. on February 1, 2012 at EC’s offices. EC will continue to accept public comments on the ABCA until Wednesday, February 15, 2012.
