The Highlands Coalition is a public-private partnership dedicated to conserving critical working and natural lands, as well as natural resources in the Pennsylvania Highlands region. Covering a vast 1.4 million acre area across 13 counties, this diverse and effective coalition works towards the preservation and enhancement of the region's forested ridges, fertile farmland, streams, lakes, and reservoirs.
At the heart of their efforts is the 300-mile Highlands Trail, which connects 13 counties from the Delaware River in Bucks County to the Appalachian Trail in Franklin County. Through scientific research, special studies, and collaborative planning, the Appalachian Mountain Club, a key partner of the coalition, plays a crucial role in advancing conservation and sustainable development in the Pennsylvania Highlands region.
