The Brandywine Conservancy’s Subscribers Program encourages municipal governments and others in Pennsylvania and Delaware to adopt leading-edge planning to sustainably manage growth and protect natural and cultural resources.

We keep our subscribers current on leading-edge planning practices and news through publications, workshops, special programs, and direct access to our professional municipal assistance staff. The Conservancy’s broad experience in land conservation, municipal assistance, and land stewardship combined with the professional qualifications of our staff enable us to meet our subscribers' wide-ranging needs. Our subscribing members include local and county governments, state and federal agencies, private businesses such as planning and law firms, environmental and historical organizations, colleges and libraries, and interested individuals. In 2014, 38 municipalities alongside professionals and interested individuals received news and attended programs on greenways and trail planning, traffic calming, climate action plans, forested riparian buffer protection, innovative stormwater management, and additional environmental topics.
