Accepting the check on behalf of the Conservancy were, from left, Bethany Keene, board member Kate Hayes, and Jason Zarnowski. Through the Green Lodging Partnership, guests at participating hotels are invited to make a $2-per-stay donation to the protection of the beautiful farms and forests, clean waters, and outdoor recreational opportunities that make the Upper Delaware River region. The funds raised directly support the Conservancy's land protection efforts for the benefit of future generations. The Delaware Highlands Conservancy works in partnership with landowners and communities to protect the natural heritage and quality of life of the Upper Delaware River region.
