Natural Lands

Natural Lands is a non-profit organization that saves open space, cares for nature, and connects people to the outdoors in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. We’ve been at it since the early 1950s and, today, nearly five million people live within five miles of lands under our permanent protection.
Are you in your 20s, 30s, or 40s and have a passion for conservation? Join our NextGen Council!
The legacies of those before us can only persist with the help of the next generation. This advisory group provides guidance on ways to advance the Natural Lands mission with younger and more diverse constituents through events, promotions, outreach, and more.
Applications officially open on July 17th. We'll circle back with the link then! In the meantime, please share with your friends, family, neighbors, and other networks 🌿🐝
Each Stardust has its own magic. This year, Stardust had just a little extra magic. Set in the spectacular gardens of Stoneleigh, our guests were a mere stone's throw away from Oakwell, a historic property the community has long been fighting to protect and preserve. Now, the two will finally be reunited. Oakwell is saved. Stoneleigh is growing.
The magic of Stardust is not hard to find. It's woven into every detail, from the atmosphere down to the first (and last) plate one reaches for. But it is the people, always, who truly bring that magic to life. We could never thank you enough for your support.
A little extra-special thanks to our sponsors...

What do Jamie Wyeth, Jason Kelce, Pierre Robert, and Oliver Bass have in common? They were all named by Main Line Today among the 30 Most Influential People of the Past 30 Years!
As Oliver insists, this recognition reflects the tireless work of all staff members across our organization and the incredible support of our donors, members, volunteers, and other constituents. Thank you to everyone for making the promise of land for life and nature for all a reality for our communities, and, despite his humility, congratulations to Oliver for this wonderful, well-deserved honor.

It's official: Stoneleigh is growing and Oakwell is saved! It's extraordinary for a botanic garden to expand by almost 25%. And even more extraordinary to reunite properties that were subdivided nearly 100 years ago.
But that's exactly what has just happened.
None of this would be possible without the exceptionally generous support of the Wyncote Foundation, additional leadership support from the William Penn Foundation, and of course, the absolutely incredible community who stepped up and showed up for Oakwell around every turn.
